Muscle-Tumours in the European Turbot
In 1913 a successful attempt was made to introduce the European Turbot to New Zealand waters. On 12 January of that year 298 young fish, caught in the neighbourhood of Plymouth, and kept for some time at the Marine Biological Station, were put aboard the Waimana .
