TLine fishing carried on at these creeks, the 



J. landings from which show a slight in- 



V crease, chiefly in whitings. 



Catch similar to last year's, but value con- 

 siderably less. One steam drifter and 

 2 second-class motor boats added to the 

 fleet. 



No fishing carried on here. Fishermen 

 prosecuted their calling from the large 

 centres. The number of steam drifters 

 was increased by 2. Boatbuilders were 

 busy until the outbreak of war, when a 

 number of orders for drifters were can- 

 celled. 



Chiefly a line and cod net fishing creek. 

 There is a slight decrease in quantity, 

 chiefly in herrings. The number of motor 

 boats is about doubled.
