This creek shows a distinct decline in land- 

 ings, which are practically confined to 

 local needs. 



The progress of the past few years continues. 

 Landings show a good increase, while the 

 value is much the same as in 1910. 



Returns here show a falling off from 1910, 

 both in quantity and value. 



Not much attention devoted to fishing during 

 the past few years. Returns show a de- 

 crease. 



Returns exhibit a distinct improvement on 

 the previous year's, except in shell-fish. 



Little done here except the gathering of 

 whelks. 



The absence of herrings in Loch Linnhe ac- 

 counts for a decrease. 



Little attention is paid to fishing in these 

 sections except when herrings are present 

 in the Loch.

A large increase in the . quantity landed, 

 chiefly herrings, attributable to steamers 

 operating on tlte Irish coast, and a moder- 

 ately successful attempt to establish a her- 

 ring fishery during May and June. Trawling 

 results show a falling off.
