Joe’s Lobster Mart – Fish dealer fights for livelihood

September 5, 2014 New England

The decision is likely to come within days and was prompted by owner Joseph Vaudo’s guilty plea in March that he received stolen oysters at his retail and wholesale fish market on the Cape Cod Canal in Sandwich.

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.
