According to CBC News, some fishermen are expecting to earn approximately $3.25 for canning sized lobster, and up to $3.75 for a market-sized catch. While those figures are up slightly from the lowest prices, they are still considered extremely low.
“[I] go out every day expecting to do better than the day before, knowing lots of times I won’st but hoping I will,” Gary O’sHanley, a veteran lobster fisherman, told New Brunswick’s Times & Transcript. “That’s what makes a fisherman a fisherman.”
