Thank you.
The experience of lobster fishermen that I spoke with in LFA 34 who were testing the weak rope gear in the summer, which is of course not when we fish in LFA 34—it's in the winter—was that almost all of it broke when hauling traps. It caused a lot of ghost gear and doesn't actually work that well, let alone in difficult winter situations.
Monsieur Lanteigne and Monsieur Noël, you spoke of your experience where you seemed to say it worked.
Can you speak to that or have you been mainly experimenting with the ropeless gear? If that's the case, what is the cost of that gear?
