Process local lobster first, say Val Comeau fishermen after devastating processing plant fire

May 25, 2020 Canada, International News

Steve Ferguson said he wonders what will happen next as they wait to see if the buyer they deal with at Les Pêcheries de Chez-Nous factory will be able to help them out. While a large part of the plant was destroyed in a fire, a portion of the processing plant not damaged is set to resume processing lobster this week with about a third of the staff. The company said 331 people were working at the plant at the time of the fire, and 100 lobster fishermen sold their catch to the plant. Local fishermen want to make sure their catch will take priority over lobster being brought in from Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. “At the end of the day, if they can’t produce our lobster from here, why are they bringing so much from other provinces. >click to read< 15:15

Thai seafood company to add N.B. lobster producer Chez Nous to its holdings

July 5, 2016 Canada

The Thai seafood company that owns Chicken of the Sea Frozen Foods is acquiring a majority stake in a Canadian lobster processor based in northeastern New Brunswick. Thai Union Group PLC didn’t disclose how much it will invest in Les Pecheries de Chez Nous but said its current chief executive, Francois (Frankie) Benoit, will retain a minority stake. Chez Nous has its office about 220 kilometres north of Moncton in the coastal community of Tracadie-Sheila, N.B. It employs up to 200 workers at the height of lobster season and generated $50 million in revenue in 2015, according to Thai Union’s announcement from Bangkok. Thai Union says its acquisition of Orion Seafood International in 2015 made it one of the largest sellers of North Atlantic lobster in the United States. It expects to solidify that position with the addition of Chez Nous. Link 12:26

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
