LFAs 33 and 34 are fishing right now. I don't know about the weather today, but they got started last week. I'm already hearing of challenges within that fishery. There are some low catches, but their biggest challenge at this point is prices. They're being affected by a number of issues. Low catches are one, but the Chinese tariffs are really putting a damper on things. They are coming in at around $8 a pound.
I'm just wondering, on the total data catch here, how the fishery is doing and how the department is going to be responding to understand what the whole package looks like. What does lobster in southwest Nova Scotia actually look like, and what is that future?
