This crab fisherman fears this season could be much the same as last without a proper price-setting formula in place

CBC Newfoundland Morning

Last spring's crab fishery started six weeks late after a price dispute, and ended with low pay and little satisfaction for harvesters. The best way to determine the value of a pound of crab has been an issue for years, and after last season, the province set up a price-setting review panel to fix the problem. The government wanted to see a new pricing formula in place by the end of January. But that hasn't happened, and fishermen like Bay Bulls' Jason Sullivan are getting worried.
