Spokesperson says lobster prices low, fishers want extension

A rep with a local fishing association says the price of lobster is low despite reasonable demand.
Duane Boudreau, the president of the Gulf Nova Scotia Bonafide Fishermen’s Association, says they’re getting $4/pound for canners and $4.25/pound for markets.
Boudreau tells The Hawk that’s alongside higher-than-expected demand and big early catches.
“(Catches have) definitely leveled off- that’s typical of most seasons,” he says. “We usually start with a bang and end with a whimper.”
Boudreau says COVID-19 has had an impact, with lower demand from China and a two-week delay to start the 2020 season.
He says it’s not clear exactly how much of an impact there’s been just yet. |
