Appendices to Eighth Annual Report 
yielded 29,233 cwfcs, valued at £3281. The quantity taken last 
year amounted to 4880 cwts, against 2149 cwts. in 1888, aud 3719 
cwts. in 1887. 
Whelks are plentiful both on the East and West Coasts, and are 
regularly forwarded to the southern markets — where both whelks 
and cockles find a ready sale. 
Limpets are found attached to the rocks all round the coast, and 
are largely used as bait, and occasionally, in some districts, as food. 
Eazor-rish are not generally found in large quantities in Scotland, 
except on some of the sands on the West Coast during low tides, 
the most productive locality being Broad Bay, in the Island of 
Lewis. Immense quantities are occasionally procured in this bay, 
and, being much esteemed as an article of food, are despatched to 
the southern markets. 
The aggregate value of all kinds of fish, including shell fish, 
landed in Scotland during 1889 was, as previously stated, 
£1,517,376 — an increase over the preceding year of £112,888.
