Line fishing is chiefly 

 ] carried on at these 

 creeks, and the landings 

 show a slight improve- 

 ! ment over that of the 

 ! previous year. The 

 j h rring boats go to 

 Shetland and Fraser- 

 burgh, those milling at 

 the latter place occa-

There is a fair increase in 

 the quantity and value 

 of the landings at this 

 station. In herring 

 lishing the quantity is 

 similar to that of last 

 year, but the value is 

 greater, while line fish- 

 ing shows an improve- 

 ment in quantity and 

 value, chiefly in" had- 

 docks.

 Fishermen prosecute 

 fishing from the large

bine fishing was better, 

 the principal increase 

 being in haddocks. Her- 

 ring fishing slightly 

 under that of the pre- 

 vious year, but the value, 

 greater. The total quan- 

 tity and value exceed 

 those of last year.

Principally a herring fish- 

 ing station, but owing 

 to the scarcity of her- 

 rings in the Moray 

 Firth, the fishing was 

 under that of Ja>t year. 

 Line fishing was not 

 vigorously prosecuted.
