Maine lobster sector primed for another year of strong supplies and booming demand

The Maine lobster fishing industry is preparing for another year of strong demand and good landings, following in the footsteps of last year.

The 2016 industry closed on a high note with demand keeping lobster prices high as fishermen broke a new harvest record.

"Last year we had a fantastic year tipping the scales at 130 million pounds for the first time ever," Annie Tselikis, marketing manager of Maine-based lobster distributor Maine Coast, told IntraFish. "Demand continues to be very strong worldwide."
