History
The Murray Island Fisheries Ltd. was formed in 1931 to develop an export business in sun-dried and salted fish in response to a crown grant for a 20-year lease being granted over the whole of the Torres Strait Islands of Devar and Waier Islands for the purpose of establishing a sardine factory. Fishing operations commenced in 1934 but the company failed in the same year after unsuccessful attempts to obtain a government subsidy. Newman Neville Lyons was Manager and Secretary of the company.
