Except when herrings are plentiful in the 

 loch, fishing is confined to the needs of 

 the ci'ofter fishermen on the shore. 



Notwithstanding an increase in the landings 

 of line fish, the total results show a decline 

 from 1911, entirely attributable to the fail- 

 ure of the winter herring fishing. Value 

 however, shows a slight increase. 



Fishermen from this island usually' land at 

 Oban. 



Except in shell-fish, the value of which shows 

 a slight increase, .the decline which oc- 

 curred last 3'ear continued. 



Returns similar to last year's. The principal 

 crew in this section now own a motor 

 auxiliary and make most of their landings 

 at Oban. 



Results much the same as in 1911. Operations 

 confined to the few summer months. 



Fair increase in value of shell-fish. Fishermen 

 are largely interested in the land. 



Slight decrease in shell-fish. 



Operations largely confined to lobster fishing, 

 the results of which are similar to those of 

 191]. 



Compared with the number of fishing boats, 

 the landings are insignificant. The value 

 of lobsters shows a slight decrease. 



Little change from 1911. 



Decrease in all kinds. In common with all 

 island stations, this creek shows a gradual 

 decline. Value of lobsters slightly less. 



Value of shell-fish shows a fair improvement.
