Little change in the results at this creek. 

 Landings confined to local consumption. 



A small increase in quantity, but consider- 

 able increase in value compared with 1912. 

 Failure in loch fishing during December 

 very much affected landings, December 

 alone being over 20,000 cwts. short this 

 year. 



Returns continue to decline, the landings 

 being mostly made at Mallaig-. 



A fair increase in the quantitj' landed, the 

 improvement being chiefly in cod. 



A decided retrograde movement was experi- 

 enced here principally in herrings. Shell 

 fisheries well maintained at last j'ear's 

 level. 



Production of shell fisheries much the same 

 as in 1912. 



Little change from the previous year. Her- 

 ring fishing again poor.
