Framed Print of Our Fishing Industries: herring-boats on Loch Fyne, 1883. Creator: Unknown
Our Fishing Industries: herring-boats on Loch Fyne, 1883. Our Artist's drawing represents a couple of Scotch fishermen employed in arranging in their boat, the long nets which have been hung up to dry upon a lofty frame of timber, and which a third man is handing down to his comrades. The herring fishery of this and other inlets of the Firth of Clyde, and on the shores of Bute, Arran, and Cantyre, and the opposite Ayrshire coast, is of great importance...The loch is a hundred fathoms deep near its entrance from the Firth of Clyde, where it has a width of five miles...The drift-net is commonly employed for the local herring fishery, in deep water...but the seine, placed in a circle to inclose the whole shoal of fish...has been found very effective near the shore. The herrings, when inclosed in the circle of the seine, can either be taken up by boats, or hauled on to the beach. This method is used where the water is shallow enough for the foot of the net to touch the bottom. There is considerable rivalry between the seine fishermen and the drift-net fishermen...and the latter have long complained that the seine catches all sizes of fish, thereby injuring the fishery, and that it sometimes frightens the shoals of herring away'.
