HERRING FISHING IN THE NORTE/ OF SCOTLAND FOR
SEASON 1856.—The herring fishing for the season
virtually closed on Saturday last. The engagements
with the hired men expired on that day, and the crews
therefore break up and depart for their homes. At
several of the stations a few crews may be made up, who
will this week prosecute the fishing if the weather be
good, and if fish be obtainable. The result of their
labours will, however, be but email in the aggre-
gate, and cannot affect the gross catch. We
subjoin a statement of the results of the fishing at
the various stations in the north :—Banff, 1,743 cranes ;
Macduff, 7,809 ; Gardenstnwn, 7,150 ; Pennan, 636 ;
Pitullie, 2,484; Rosehearty, 4,058 ; Fraserburgh,
20,944 ; Peterhead and Boddam, circa, 40,040 ; White-
hills, 2,292 ; Portsoy, 2,016 ; Cullen, 2,976 ; Port-
knockie, 2,812 Findochty and?ortessie, 5,760 ; Buckie,
5,273; Portgo;don, 6,324; Lossiemouth, 10,753; Burg-
head, 4,560; Ilopeman, 3,850; Findhorn, 600; Helms-
dale, 11,960; Brora, 2,275; Dunbeatii, 6,570; Lybster
district, circa, 27,000 ; Wick, 89,250. Total, 270,167
crans. It was at one time feared that the fishing would
be exceedingly short. This is not the case, as will be
seen from the following figures, showing the gross catch
at the same stations taken at the same date in each of
the last nine years:-1847, 255,000 crane; 1848, 275,000;
1849, 351,610 ; 1850, 225,000 ; 1851, 273,066 ; 1852,
214,752; 1853, 338,740; 1854, 275,327; 1855, 320,612.
Average of above nine years, 281,012 crane. It will be
seen that the catch of the present season is only 10,000
barrels below the average of the last nine years, while it
' nearly equals that of 1354, and surpasses those of 1852,
1850, and 1847. The great falling off has been at Wick,
where there are 40,000 barrels fewer than in 1855. The
other stations, however, have generally fished pretty
well Macduff, Peterhead, and Boddam, and Findochty
and Portessie, have nearly double what they bad last
year; while the catch at Lossiemout is one-third more
than last season.
