It is predicted that the price of lobster from Canada may rise from next year. According to the Mermaid Pirates, a platform specializing in aquatic products, the restrictions on herring and mackerel catches announced by the Canadian Department of Oceans and Fisheries (DFO) are expected to affect the price of lobster next year. As the permissible catches of herring and mackerel, which are essential for catching lobster, have decreased, lobster fishing has also been put on hold. Atlantic herring and mackerel catches have declined sharply over the past 20 years due to climate change and reckless overfishing. Accordingly, the Canadian federal Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has reduced the allowable herring catch from 22,500 tons in 2020 to 10,000 tons this year to protect fish stocks. "According to local media, the amount of frozen herring and mackerel currently stockpiled for bait can only be used until the beginning of next year," said an official from the Mermaid Master Pirates. said.
