  The Great Bernera Lobster Pond
Out of their element, and exposed to air and light, lobsters are short-lived: but during the colder weather when carefully packed in boxes, they are fairly tenacious of life, and reach Billingsgate from Lewis usually in good marketable condition.
For some time in the 1950s the lobster ponds in Bernera and Stockinish were used in tandem in an interesting experiment.
During the second season of the experiment three converted lifeboats bought with the help of Governement loans and grants increased the scope of the fishing fleet in Bernera, and several profitable long-distance trips were made to the Flannan Islands.
