Increase in quantity of herrings 

 but decrease in value. Decrease 

 in other kinds. 



Increase in herrings and lobsters, 

 decrease in codlings. 



Decrease in herrings. 



Slight increase in total landings. 



Landings mostly by boats from 

 other creeks. Increase in her- 

 rings, but decrease in other kinds. 



Decrease in landings. When her- 

 ring fishing successful, landings 

 are made at Ayr, owing to poor 

 transport facilities locally. 

 Do. do do. 



Increase in quantity but decrease 

 in value of herrings, and, in less 

 degree, of white fish. 



Creek continues to decline ; only a 

 few of the older men fish during 

 the spring wil h cod nets. 



^1 Reduced landings at Stranraer 



' owing to failure of herring fish- 



) ing in Loch Ryan and on Ballan- 

 trae Bank, and to withdrawal 

 of steam trawlers. The oyster 

 beds were less productive. Land- 

 ings at Kirkcolm were normal. 



Slight decrease in landings. 



Herrings were secured during July. 



Decrease in landings from Luce 

 Bay, especially of cod and plaice, 

 perhaps because fewer stranger 

 boats operating. Increase in 

 shell fish. 



Creeks on Wigtown Bay. Slight 

 falling off in shell fish; other- 

 wise little change. 



Shell fish mostly hand gathered 

 and marketed for consumption 

 rather than for bait. Results 

 show a decided falling off. 



Nith Estuary ; decline in quantity 

 and value of landings. 



An industrious and energetic com- 

 munity of fishermen. Little 

 change in quantity of landings, 

 but substantial reduction in 

 value.
