Herring fishing prosecuted the whole year 

 round l)y the majority of the fishermen. 

 Catch and value considerably less than 

 half those of 1913. 



Nearly all the fishermen were engaged at the 

 herring fishing during the whole year. 

 Results extremely poor, the catch of 

 herrings showing a decrease of 67,642 cwts. 

 from that of the previous year. The land- 

 ings of both line fish and lobsters, however, 

 show a considerable increase. 



Decrease in catch and value. 



Substantial increase in catch and value of 

 both saithe and lobsters. 



Increase in catch of lobsters, but, owing to 

 poor prices obtained, the value of the 

 catch is similar to that of 1913. 



Results of cod fishing disappointing. Catch 

 and value of lobsters, however, con- 

 siderably increased. 



Year's catch shows very little change.
