Mr. John Harvey, Manager of the Oyster Fishery, Pahantanui, was employed in this industry in Essex, where the cultivation of the oyster has been carried on by his family for generations. Five years ago he came to New Zealand, and soon learnt that the coasts of New Zealand were well adapted for his business. As soon as the above Company was formed, Mr. Harvey was selected as manager and expert.
