PEI Fishermen's Association: Maine Lobster

New Brunswick Dept: On Thursday, New Brunswick fishermen tried to shut down three fish plants to prevent them from processing fish from the U.S. Lobster from Maine has been selling for about $2 per pound, according to CBC. "We're monitoring the situation, but we're feeling that fair and equitable prices will be paid to our fishers this fall. I think there's a good demand," MacPherson said. "And all the spring stock is gone so we see that as being a positive sign." The executive director of the PEI Fishermen's Association said he doesn't share the concerns of fishermen in New Brunswick that a glut of Maine lobster on the market will hurt demand and prices for product from the Maritimes. Ian MacPherson, executive director of the fishermen's association, said his organization is keeping an eye on Atlantic Canada's neighbours to the south. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
