(:: 



Last year's results fully main- 

 tained ; improvement in small 

 line fishing. 



Total quantity is somewhat similar 

 to last year's, but value shows 

 a very decided falling off on 

 account of lower prices. 



F shing is now fairly much con- 

 fined to the spring cod-net 

 fishing. While the quantity 

 landed was nearly doubled, 

 value shows a decrease. 



Herring fishing poor, and in con- 

 sequence total quantity and 

 value show substantial de- 

 creases, notwithstanding the 

 landing of catches by two steam 

 trawlers for five months and 

 four east coast craft for a shorter 

 period. The decrease in the 

 value of herrings exceeds the 

 total value of all kinds for 1920. 



Decrease in quantity and value. 

 Loch Ryan proving unproduc- 

 tive. «. 



Local fishermen showed decider* 

 activity, but financial results 

 are little more than half those 

 for 1919. 



Little done at this creek. 



Decrease in landings, especially 

 as regards value. Improvement 

 in shell fisheries. 



Falling off in landings. 



Do. do. 

 The shell fisheries were better 



maintained. 

 Increase in mussels and other 



kinds. 



| Little difference from last year. 



A very decided decrease in the 

 quantity of flounders caught, 

 but increase in shrimps. Total 

 value shows slight decrease.
