Canada: Lobster Fishermen

Atlantic Canada Dept: HALIFAX - Lobster is Canada's most valuable seafood export, but for fishermen working at one of Atlantic Canada's 45 lobster fisheries the trips to and from shore are costly, according to Winnipeg Free Press. But checking traps daily doesn't guarantee a lobster and vince Stuart looks at his latest invention called the Bait Savour near Meteghan, N.S. on Thursday, June 21, 2012. The device allows fisherman to reset a lobster trap once it is underwater, by storing additional bait inside a container and then releasing it with a time delay fuse. THE CANADIAN PRESS/ Mike Dembeck. Lobster fishermen spend up to $700 in fuel per trip, which means checking traps daily can cost almost $5,000 a week. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
