The association decided to support the boycott after it learned about 40 of its members already had signed up for it, Executive Director Kevin Westlye said Thursday.
"There is so much seafood available fresh from all over the world that could be flown in within a day now, that (restaurants) have the ability to choose where they'd like to buy their seafood," Westlye said in a press release. "I think that if it starts to erode into the sales of these particular companies that have this behavior, [the Canadian fishing industry] might consider changing their behavior."
