Austin reports that permits for raising and selling nutria will be delayed while plans for supervision are developed. E. A. Walker notes the Legislature placed nutria control under the Game Commission. The animal, an imported South American rodent, was used for vegetation control but caused more harm than good. Regulators will soon issue rules limiting nutria traffic to licensed captive breeders or fur producers. The commission warns against further importation until clarified.
