 fishing a failure. 



This creek has not main- 

 tained the fairly pros- 

 perous record of last 

 year. The reduction in 

 the landings amounts to 

 368 cwts. in quantity 

 and £181 in value. 



During the months of 

 March and April a pros- 

 perous fishing of M lut- 

 ings was secured, and 

 the results show a fair 

 increase for the year. 



Landings here are chiefly 

 confined to saithe taken 

 by hand lines, the re- 

 turns of which show a 

 decrease, while the value 

 of shell-fish exhibits a 

 good increase. 



This creek continues to 

 report an increase in the 

 landings of fish, but 

 there is a decrease in the 

 value of shell-fish. 

 Again the increase is 

 attributable to the cod- 

 net fishing, which was 

 carried on by local and 

 strange fishermen. 



Very little done here dur- 

 ing the year. The prin- 

 cipal crews when fishing 

 regularly land elsewhere. 



An increase in quantity, 

 but a considerable de- 

 crease In the value of 

 shell-fish. A local crew 

 made fair earnings at 

 Campbeltown during the 

 summer herring- fishing. 



A reduction in the value 

 of shell- fish. An in- 

 crease in the other land- 

 ings is recorded, but 

 insignificant in propor- 

 tion to the amount of 

 time devoted to Lochbuie 

 during the last months 

 of the year. 



Returns similar to those 

 of the previous year.
