Part I. — Twenty-fifth Annual Report 



Herrings Landed by Scottish Fishermen at English and 



Irish Ports. 



Increasing 

 popularity of 

 English 

 Fishing. 



Statement of 

 Results for 

 1906. 



The popularity of the principal English herring fishing as a 

 source of additional revenue to Scottish fishermen continues 

 steadily to increase, and, in view of the boom in the construction of 

 steam drifters in Scotland, it is not improbable that this popularity 

 will be enhanced in future years. The Irish herring fishings are 

 not so popular with Scottish crews, but they, too, for some years 

 have attracted an increasing number, though in 1906 the record 

 figures of 1905 were not attained. 



A table showing the results of the English and Irish fishings, 

 in so far as they affected Scottish fishermen, for the last ten years 

 appears in the general statement at the beginning of the Board's 

 Report, while the following return gives detailed particulars for 

 the year under review.
