It's doesn't appear lobster fishermen in Shelburne, Yarmouth and Digby will tie up their boats this week in protest over the price of their catch. Head of the Professional Lobster Fishermen's Association, James Mood, says its business as usual in LFA's 33 and 34. However, he says fishermen are still holding their catch unless they get $5.50 a pound. "They have to be accountable and take their industry back in a fair way...and I mean not in an unfair way where they are asking for $10.00 a pound. But a $5.50 price is a fair price for this lobster and let's face it...to pay the fishermen," Mood says the newly formed fishermen's association has made positive gains in its quest to drive up the price of lobster. The price has jumped from $3.50 to around $4.75 per pound since early January.
