Results almost similar to those of 1909. White 

 tish were again very scarce off the west of 

 Bute. 



Unimportant as a fishing creek. 



The industry is yearly receiving less notice in 

 this locality. Results about the same as 

 those of 1909 



Small-line fishing chiefly. Slight decreases in 

 the returns.

Generally the various fisheries in these lochs 

 were unproductive, and they appear to be 

 getting worse ever}^ year. Siight increases 

 in the returns of fish landed, particularly 

 of saithe and mackerel.

Practically nothing was done at fishing at this

There seem to be no signs of a revival at this 

 once prosperous creek. Returns about

 prosecuted off the S.E. of Arran, and con- 

 sequently the returns for this area show 

 an increase of 14,428 cwts. and £4,436. 

 The take of lobsters was almost doubled.
