Results similar to those of 1911.

While the results show a slight increase, the 

 landings are confined to local require- 

 ments, any surplus being landed at Mallaig. 



This creek contiimes to forge ahead as a land- 

 ing port, an increase of nearly 26,000 cwts. 

 in (luantity and over £15,000 in value being- 

 recorded. A succe.ssful herring fishing 

 during December was largely responsible 

 for this gratifying result. 



Returns show a falling off, largely owing to 

 landings being made at Mallaig. 



A slight increase, but little attention is paid 

 to fishing in this section. 



The distinct improvement noticed last year is 

 fully maintained, and extends to the shell 

 fisheries. The value is about one -third 

 more than the previous year. 



Returns of shell-fish much the same as in 1911. 



Landings in this section show little change. 

 Herrings were again absent from Loch 

 Linnhe.
