Increase in quantity of fish 

 landed, but value similar to last 

 year's. 



Marked decreases in quantity and 

 value, principally on account 

 of the failure of the cod-net 

 fishing. 



Slight increase in quantity, but 

 considerable decrease in value. 



Fish landed here are carted to 

 Helmsdale. 



Decreases in quantity and value 

 of white fish, but considerable 

 increase in the value of shell- 

 fish, the lobster fishing being 

 very successful during the early 

 summer. 



Quantity landed about the same 

 as last year, but considerable 

 decrease in value.
