Unimportant as fishing creek. 

 Increase of 139% in output of 

 mussels. 



Only small lines employed. Re- 

 sults rather better than in 1920. 



Considerable increase in landings, 

 which were confined to small 

 craft. 



Slight decreases in catch and 

 value. Drift net fishermen 

 operate from Peterhead and 

 other herring fishing centres. 



Of very little importance. 



Catch and value show little change, 

 Bulk of small line fish landed at 

 Peterhead, while steam liners 

 discharge principally at Aber- 

 deen. Drift net fishermen 

 operate from the various her- 

 ring fishing centres. 



Decreases of 164,173 cwts. and 

 £193,193 in quantity and value 

 of herrings. A greatly reduced 

 fleet took part in herring fishing 

 while prices were lower than for 

 some years past. The quantity 

 and value of white fish show 

 little change. Increase in num 

 ber of small-sized craft. 



Of little importance. Operations 

 confined mainly to summer 

 months. 



More attention paid to hand-line 

 and cod-net fishing, and to crab 

 and lobster fishing. The catch 

 shows a considerable increase. 



Catch of white fish about the same 

 as last year. Crabs and lob- 

 sters show an increase. 



The catch shows a very large fall- 

 ing off, due to the partial failure 

 of the summer herring fishing. 

 The value of herrings shows a 

 decrease of 55%. The quantity 

 of white fish was about the same, 

 but the value slightly less. 



Slight increase in catch. . Unim- 

 portant as a fishing station. 



Catch about the same as in 1920. 

 Codlings were more abundant, 

 but haddocks and whitings 

 scarcer. Most of the fishermen 

 prosecute herring and great-line 

 fishing at other stations during 

 the greater part of the year. 



Slight increase in the catch. 

 Resident fishermen prosecute the 

 fishing chiefly at other stations
