CRABS AND LOBSTERS
From “Positive Changes That Are Occurring”, by Jeff Miller, Gurnee, IL, July 21, 2022
Great positive changes are underway at every level of our reality. They began in earnest in 2012, and are increasing in speed and magnitude. I began writing this series of articles, entitled “Positive Changes That Are Occurring”, in July of 2013.
These historically-unprecedented positive changes are being driven by many hundreds of thousands, if not millions of simple, inexpensive tactical Orgonite devices based on the work of Wilhelm Reich and Karl Hans Welz.
Since Don Croft first fabricated tactical Orgonite in 2000, its widespread, ongoing and ever-increasing distribution has been unknitting and transforming the ancient Death energy matrix built and expanded by our dark masters, well, all the way back to Babylon, and before. And, as a result, the Ether is returning to its natural state of health and vitality.
One of those changes is that crabs and lobsters are increasing to unprecedented number and size, regardless of geography.
That’s because the size, fertility, longevity and very existence of any organism vary directly with the health of its etheric environment.
THE DATA
From the 1980’s to 2016, Maine’s lobster fishery volume increased by 5,140%, from 2.5 million pounds to 131 million pounds.
Wait, what? We’ve obviously been sold a bill of goods. Compared to just thirty years ago, the ocean today is, quite literally, crawling with lobsters in numbers unimaginable to those in generations which came before. A 5,000% increase in thirty years. Funny how you don’t hear that statistic on NPR, or in National Geographic.
That epochal increase has taken place because the size, fertility, longevity and very existence of any organism varies directly with the health of its etheric environment.
But let’s draw back. From the 1980’s to 1996, Maine’s lobster fishery volume increased by 1,348%, from around 2.5 million pounds to 36.2 million pounds. s this figure demonstrates, the great positive changes that would culminate in 2012 and beyond were already well underway.
From 1996 to 2004, Maine’s lobster fishery volume increased by 96.1%, or basically doubled, from 36.2 million to 71 million pounds. You can see how the huge growth from the 1980’s to 1996 slows from 1996 to 2004, as wireless technology was developed and deployed suddenly in every nation in the late 1990’s in a desperate, last-ditch attempt to stop or slow them. Aerosol operations got underway in all the nations at that same time for that same reason.

(Aerosol “chemtrail” operations, late 1990’s - man, those were the days, weren’t they?)
And, for a brief moment, those malefic, horrific technologies worked as they were designed to. From 2004 to 2007, Maine’s lobster fishery volume decreased by 9.8%, from 71 million pounds to 64 million pounds. Here we can clearly see the deleterious effects of wireless technology upon the ether coming into play.
2006 was the high-water mark of the Death energy-based storm steering and augmentation system whose apogee was seen in the pumping up of Hurricane Katrina and it being steered like a bumper car directly into New Orleans.

After this, the slow, steady, widespread and ever-increasing distribution of simple, inexpensive Orgonite devices invented by Don Croft in 2000 (based upon the work of Wilhelm Reich and Karl Hans Welz) scuttled the ancient Death energy matrix that had been patiently built and expanded all the way back to Babylon, and before.
From 2007 to 2009, Maine’s lobster fishery volume increased by 19%, from 64 million pounds to 76.3 million pounds.
From 2009 to 2010, Maine’s lobster harvest increased by 22.4%, from 76.3 million pounds to 93.4 million pounds. Both years were all-time records.
From 2010 to 2011, Maine’s lobster harvest increased by 7.8%, from 93.4 million pounds to 100.7 million pounds. Both years were all-time records.
From 2011 to 2012, Maine’s lobster harvest increased by 22.1%, from 100.7 million pounds to 123 million pounds. Both years were all-time records.
In 2012, a 27 pound lobster was caught in Maine, the largest in the history of the state. That’s because the size, fertility, longevity and very existence of any organism varies directly with the health of its etheric environment.

And, it’s not just a size record, it is a de facto longevity record. In 2015, BBC.com said “In other words, American lobster cells apparently don’t age in a normal way, making the lobsters biologically immortal.”
In 2013, Smithsonian Magazine tried to prop up the collapse of mean-spirited Western materialism with “Don’t Listen to the Buzz: Lobsters Aren’t Actually Immortal”.
The folks in charge are not your friends, and are lying to you about basically everything, including the lobsters.
From 2012 through 2019, Dungeness crab landings in Oregon more than doubled.
From 2012 to 2013, Maine’s lobster harvest increased by 2.4%, from 123 million pounds to 126 million pounds. Both years were all-time records.
From 2013 to 2016, Maine’s lobster harvest increased by 4%, from 126 million pounds to 131 million pounds. Both years were all-time records.
From 2013 to 2014, horseshoe crab numbers in Maryland increased by 11%.
From 2014 to 2017, the stone crab harvest in the U.S. increased by 46%.
From 2014 to 2015, the stone crab harvest in Florida increased by 17%.
From 2015 to 2016, the stone crab harvest in Florida increased by 36%.
The 36% increase in the stone crab harvest in Florida in 2015 was 111% greater, or more than double the 17% increase in the stone crab population there in 2014.
From 2015 to 2016, the volume of the lobster harvest in Maine increased by 7.4%, from 121,083,418 pounds to 131,000,000 pounds, to an all time record.
With a straight face, Boston.com said that the Southern New England’s lobster fishery was “fading”, directly in the face of four straight years of record lobster harvests, culminating in a see-the-needle-moving 7.4% increase in volume from 2015 to 2016.
Boston.com is telling the Big Lie so beloved by Hitler, Goebbels, and small town Mayors the world over. Boston.com is using conscious deception while maintaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty. I have exposed their duplicity by using what was known in the old days as “fact checking”.
From 2016 to 2019, the Kona crab catch in Hawaii increased by 2,233% to the highest level ever recorded.
From 2016 to 2017, California’s Dungeness Crab season almost doubled.
In 2016, Maine lobster landings were at an all-time record high. In May 2016, Maine’s Press Herald said “Lobster fishing to be restricted in bid to save population”. They’re using the Big Lie so beloved by Hitler, Goebbels, and small town Mayors the world over.
In 2017, Western rock lobster stock numbers in Australia were at record high levels.
In May 2017, bloomberg.com said “Maine Is Drowning in Lobsters”.
In July 2017, cnbc.com said “Maine’s lobster business is booming despite record catches”
In October 2017, Maine’s Bangor Daily News said “Maine’s 2017 lobster harvest is on pace to hit its lowest value this decade, due to an unfavorable combination of a dwindling catch and falling prices.”
Since this is the Middle Ages, I need to point out that prices decrease either when supply increases, demand decreases, or both. Here, the author from Maine’s Bangor Daily News Satanically inverts it, falsely claiming decreasing supply is driving decreasing lobster prices.
As propagandists, they know that many or most readers will grasp virtually any straw, no matter how thin, to remain off the hook of personal responsibility.
From 2018 to 2019, the lobster harvest in Quebec’s Gaspe region tripled.
From 2018 to 2019, blue crab numbers in the Chesapeake Bay increased by 60%, while juvenile crab numbers there almost doubled, up 93%, in one year.
In 2019, wplg.com said “Fisherman Catches Four-Foot Lobster off Marathon”.

(One would think that this lobster would be purchased immediately to be devoured in a celebratory feast, but thanks to a kind vegan, Katie Conklin – this did not happen. King Louie was saved by Conklin from boiling water and kitchen tools. A resident of Nova Scotia, Conklin spent an estimated $170 US dollars ($230 Canadian dollars) to buy King Louie from the MacDonald family and release him back to the waters. Katie said she expects King Louie to be back living his good life, while carrying his genes to the next generations to come. Rodney MacDonald, the fisherman that caught King Louie was the same person who took him back to the center of the bay and released him. Before lowering King Louie to the waters, MacDonald shouted – “Thank you, Katie!”)
From 2020 to 2021, Maine’s lobster fishery volume increased by 11%, from 97 million pounds to 108 million pounds.
From 2021 to 2022, the quota for the Newfoundland and Labrador snow crab fishery increased by 32%.
From 2021 to 2022, Quebec’s lobster fishery volume increased by 24%.
In August 2021, suffolkgazette.com said “Giant six-foot lobster caught off Suffolk coast”. It was the largest in U.K. history.
In May 2022, Russian snow crab imports into Canada were four times above normal.
THE ARTICLES
In March 2010, Connecticut’s New Haven Register tersely said “Maine lobster harvest setsrecord”.
The author used “sets” record because it’s general. It blunts awareness into the scope of the positive trend. The author knows that sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the headlines.
The article went on to say that “State lobstermen had a record harvest in 2009, but the value of the catch continued to plunge amid the sour global economy.”
Where “sour global economy” is a bullshit plausible-deniability excuse put forward as a cover for the fact that lobster prices were decreasing because of drastically increased supply.
The propagandist knows that the subconscious of many or most readers will grasp virtually any straw, no matter how thin, to remain off the hook of personal responsibility.
The New Haven Register is a state propaganda outlet, doing what little it can to hedge and defray.
In 2012, a 27 pound lobster was caught in Maine, the largest in the history of the state.
The article in the U.K.’s Telegraph was headlined “Lobster ‘the size of a small child’ caught in Maine”.
Where “the size of a small child”, while lurid, is general. The hedging generality omits the 27 pound weight of the record holder, and also omits mention of the fact that it was the largest lobster ever caught, in all history.
Those are both examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”. “The size of a small child” is a second hedge.In August 2013, the Chicago Tribune said “Booming lobster population pinches profits for Maine’s fishery”
The article goes on to say “Last year’s record haul of 126 million pounds (57 million kg), double that of just a decade ago, led some to wonder whether lobster might go the way of cheap, everyday foods like the chicken nugget or TV dinner. Prices paid to lobstermen at the dock plummeted and have not recovered. They are barely enough, says Train, to cover fuel and bait.”
The linear trend of the data show the warming rate in the Gulf of Maine was basically flat, at only 0.004 deg C/decade, from 1930 to 2014. In January 2015, NASA said “The year 2014 now ranks as the warmest on record since 1880”.
Essay: Without using “because that’s there”, the word “extreme”, or “El Nino”, explain how the temperature of the Gulf of Maine remained basically flat from 1930 to 2014, when 2014 was the warmest year on record since 1880.
From 2013 to 2014, horseshoe crab numbers in Maryland increased by 11%.
From 2016 to 2019, the Kona crab catch in Hawaii increased by 2,233% to the highest level ever recorded.
From 2014 to 2017, the stone crab harvest in the U.S. increased by 46%.
From 2014 to 2015, the stone crab harvest in Florida increased by 17%.
From 2015 to 2016, the stone crab harvest in Florida increased by 36%.
The 36% increase in the stone crab harvest in Florida in 2015 was 111% greater, or more than double the 17% increase in the stone crab population there in 2014.
From 2015 to 2016, the Florida lobster harvest increased by 9%, by 500,000 pounds.
From 2015 to 2016, the volume of the lobster harvest in Maine increased by 7.4%, from 121,083,418 pounds to 131,000,000 pounds.
With a straight face, Boston.com said that the Southern New England’s lobster fishery was “fading”, directly in the face of four straight years of record lobster harvests, culminating in a see-the-needle-moving 7.4% increase in volume from 2015 to 2016.
Boston.com is telling the Big Lie so beloved by Hitler and Goebbels. They’re using conscious deception with the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty, which deception I’ve exposed via what was known in the old days as “fact checking”.
The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. Two of those variants are “enigma” and “freak”.
That’s why a quartz article from October 2015 is headlined “The enigma behind America’s freak, 20-year lobster boom”. They’re playing like it’s been twenty years to keep your eyes off the sudden increase in 2011, 2012.
From 2016 to 2017, California’s Dungeness Crab season almost doubled.
In 2016, Maine lobster landings were at an all-time record high.
Prices drop when demand decreases or supply increases, or both. That’s why a floridakeystreasures.com story I’ve appended below, from April, 2016 is headlined “MoreFlorida Lobster Caught This Season – Prices Down”
The author used “more” and “down” because they’re general. They’re doing what they can to blunt your understanding of the scope of the great positive change that has taken place.
The article goes on to say that “The commercial harvest of the Florida Keys’ most lucrative sea creature Florida Lobster was up this year, but the price fishermen were paid was way down, they said. The recreational and commercial harvest of spiny lobster will close at midnight Thursday, March 31. The commercial harvest is expected to be about 5.9 million pounds, up about 500,000 pounds from last season, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission fisheries biologist Tom Matthews.”
The Illuminist talking-head shill quoted in the mainstream news article used the hedging generalities “up”, and “way down” and “up about 500,000 pounds” to blunt and defray your awareness of the scope of the great positive change that has taken place, which goes badly off-message re: Poor Mother Gaia dying, and all.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Fisheries Biologist gave you the numbers, but carefully withheld the percentage increase between the two, as providing it would have been much more impactful. That’s why I had to do the math. 5.4 million to 5.9 million pounds is 9% higher than the previous year.
From 2015 to 2016, the Florida lobster harvest increased by 9%, by 500,000 pounds.
Here’s Tom’s picture:

They’re all related to one another through the maternal bloodline. They comprise between twenty and thirty percent of the populace, and are hiding in plain sight in every city, town and village on Earth.
It’s how the few have controlled the many all the way back to Babylon, and before.
But they say that the hardest part of solving a problem is recognizing that you have one.
Don Croft used to say “Parasites fear exposure above all else”.
The article goes on to say that “Fishermen also speculated that the Chinese buyers have begun to work more closely with American fish house owners to control prices.”
That’s a baldfaced lie, a ruse…it’s “fake news”. Which is why the “Fishermen” who did the speculating are unnamed.
In May 2016, Maine’s Press Herald said “Lobster fishing to be restricted in bid to save population”. They’re using the Big Lie so beloved by Hitler, Goebbels, and small town Mayors the world over.
In 2017, horseshoe crabs in Delaware Bay were said to be “spawning in droves”.
In 2017, Western rock lobster stock numbers in Australia were at record high levels.
In March 2017, Maine’s Ellsworth American said “2016 lobster landings set record”.
In May 2017, bloomberg.com said “Maine Is Drowning in Lobsters”.
In March 2017, AP News said “Maine Fishermen Set Lobster Record for Seventh Straight Year”.
The article goes on to say “The Maine lobster industry is bigger and more lucrative than ever, with fishermen landing more than 130 million pounds of lobster valued at $533.1 million in 2016. That is a record for both landings and industry value.”
Where “bigger”, “more” lucrative and “record” are all general, to blunt and defray awareness of the scope of the historically-unprecedented increase.
I had to look up a separate article to learn that 2015 landings totaled 121,083,418 pounds, making 2015 the fourth year in a row, and the fourth year ever, in which Maine lobster harvesters hauled in more than 120 million pounds. The author of the AP News article successfully “compartmentalized” the data, that is at least until I looked up the separate article and published my damning expose here.
So, I had to do the math to learn that, from 2015 to 2016, the volume of the lobster harvest in Maine increased by 7.4%, from 121,083,418 pounds to 131,000,000 pounds.
In July 2017, cnbc.com said “Maine’s lobster business is booming despite record catches”
The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. That’s why a Food and Wine article from July 2017, headlined “Maine’s Lobster Industry Thriving, Despite Slow Start”, says “The lobster catch in Maine this year has presented itself as a bit of mystery.”
“Maine’s Lobster Industry Thriving, Despite Slow Start” uses exactly the same propaganda technique as a Bradenton Herald article from October 10, 2017, headlined “Stone crab season could be off to slow start”. The only-hypothetical poor crab season in Florida was a lie, as is same claim about the 2017 lobster season in Maine.
In August 2017, National Fisherman said “Fla. stone crab harvest strong again this year”.
Where the author used the bizarre, stupid, antiquated “Fla.” in place of “Florida” to make the subject drastically less searchable. STRONG again is general. The author has done what they could to hedge, knowing that sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the headlines.
The article continues: “The landings have recovered from their historically low levels of the 2013-14 season” (with 1.98 million pounds claw weight landed).
It was a better than average season on my boats,” said Jim Hanson, who operates out of Little Torch Key, Fla. “But the price was lower.”
Where “recovered”, “better than average” and “lower” are all general, put forth to blunt and defray insight into the magnitude of the trends I’m documenting here.
The article continues: “Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission numbers back that up. “This season was a continuation of the good harvest numbers from last season,” said spokeswoman Michelle Kerr. “The landings have recovered from their historically low levels of the 2013-14 season” (with 1.98 million pounds claw weight landed).
“Dockside price this year was lower than last and anecdotally cited as an issue this year along with a high volume of light crabs in Collier and northern Monroe Counties early in the season,” she added. “The northwest Cedar Key and Steinhatchee continued to have very high numbers of crabs this season, while the remainder of the fishery had good numbers of crabs available.” As much as 98 percent of the U.S. stone crab harvest takes place in Florida waters, off both coasts. The preliminary total statewide for this past season is 2.9 million pounds, at a value of $30.6 million.”
Did you notice that the author provided the numbers, but carefully hedged by omitting the far more impactful percentage increase between them? So, I had to do the math.
From 2014 to 2017, the stone crab harvest in the U.S. increased by 46%.
Did you notice how the author put a paragraph in between the historically low numbers and the 2017 numbers? Did you notice how the Illuminist talking-head shill quoted in the mainstream news article used the general “LOWER than last year”, “VERY high numbers”, “HIGH volume”, and “GOOD numbers”? Those are all general, put forth to blunt and defray your insight into the magnitude of the trends I’m documenting here. Prices are dropping to an unspecified degree because prices drop either when supply increases, demand decreases, or both.
Here’s a picture of Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission spokewoman Michelle Kerr, in a Satanic purple dress, in front of a Satanic purple and green background. Sarah didn’t offer any insight as to what caused stone crab numbers to suddenly be up by half in the three years from 2014 to 2017:

I’ve included her photograph so that you could get a better idea of what a generational Satanist in a position of marginal influence looks like.

It’s how the few have controlled the many all the way back to Babylon, and before.
But they say that the hardest part of solving a problem is recognizing that you have one.
Don Croft used to say “Parasites fear exposure above all else”.
As a bonus, I’ll note that it was Ms. Kerr’s photograph that first awakened me (now five years ago) to the insider-wink color-coding “signs of recognition” that she and her fellow Illuminist co-conspirators often use in their profile pictures. They figured that the rubes would never notice.
In Fall 2017, “higher” numbers of juvenile lobsters were seen in fall data collection in Maine.
On October 10, 2017, Florida’s Bradenton Herald warned “Stone crab season could be off to slow start”.
On the same day, October 10, 2017, Florida’s Palm Beach Post used conscious deception with the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty and said “After Irma: Storms leave lobsters, stone crab seasons underwater”.
Two days later, on October 12, 2017, Florida’s Sun Sentinel widened its eyes to simulate honesty and asked “Will Hurricane Irma drive up stone crab prices this season***?***”
That’s what’s known as a rhetorical question.
Rhetorical question - noun - a question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer.
It’s also a fait accompli.
Fait accompli - noun - a thing that has already happened or been decided before those affected hear about it, leaving them with no option but to accept it.
All three propaganda outlets have released interleaved “hit pieces” to create a cloud of literally fake news to tell you “what to think”, in lock-step with the “Poor Mother Gaia is Dying” platform. The only problem is, they’re all lies, as you can see from this Naples News headline from just three days later, still, on October 15, 2017: “Stone crab season off to solid start in SouthwestFlorida”.
The Sun Sentinel’s name is an homage to the Atonist Black Sun cult that has run things in all the nations, well, all the way back to Babylon, and before.
In October 2017, lobster prices were said to be “lower than they had been in previous Octobers”. That’s because prices drop either when supply increases, demand decreases, or both.
Prices drop when demand decreases or supply increases, or both. That’s why a Bangor Daily News story from October of 2017 says “Maine’s 2017 lobster harvest is on pace to hit its lowest value this decade, due to an unfavorable combination of a dwindling catch and falling prices.”
Well, if “dwindling catch” is a driver of low prices, how can a story from just three months earlier read “Maine’s lobster business is booming despite record catches”? And how can another story from May 2017 read “Maine Is Drowning in Lobsters”?
“Dwindling catch” is not a driver, but rather a baldfaced lie, a ruse…it’s “fake news”. And the suggestion itself is bizarre, in that dropping supply raises prices, as opposed to dropping them.
Only a sociopath would try to an advance an agenda with a lie supporting a completely false premise, especially in the face of headlines like “Maine Fishermen Set Lobster Record for Seventh Straight Year” from March, 2017.
The words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything. One of those variants is “unsure”. That’s why the article goes on to say: “Scientists are not sure why lobstermen seem to be catching fewer lobster than they did last year, when the statewide catch hit a record of 130 million pounds.”
The use of “seem to be” also shows that they’re lying baldfacedly about the lower catch this year, to try to prop up the failing and wholly-fraudulent “Poor Mother Gaia is Dying” confidence game on behalf of the barely-closeted Death worshippers they work for.
Say what you will about them, there’s no quit in these guys. The great news being that’s not going to stop, or even remotely slow their imminent demise.The Bangor Daily News is a State propaganda organ, falsely reporting that the largest lobster population in all history is “dwindling”.
From 2018 to 2019, blue crab numbers in the Chesapeake Bay increased by 60%, while juvenile crab numbers there almost doubled, up 93%, in one year.
From 2018 to 2019, the lobster harvest in Quebec’s Gaspe region tripled.
In March 2018, the Press Herald said “Landings declined 15.3 percent, from almost 131 million pounds in 2016 to 111 million pounds in 2017, and the boat value of the statewide catch fell 18.6 percent, from about $533 million in 2016 to just under $434 million in 2017, according to the Maine Department of Marine Resources, which released its annual catch data Friday at the Maine Fishermen’s Forum in Rockport. That translates into a drop of 20 million pounds of lobster and $99 million for the state’s lobster fleet.”
What they’re not telling you is that they collectively agreed to haul in less lobster, to prop up the collapsed price created by seven consecutive seasons of record lobster harvests. In the business world, it’s called “price fixing”.
In March 2022, cbc.ca said “Snow crab quota jumps 30% for 2022 season”.
The article goes on to say “the quota for Newfoundland and Labrador’s snow crab fishery is increasing by over 30 per cent for the 2022 season, adding to momentum in the province’s most lucrative fishery.”
You can see how the author walked the 32% increase in the body text back to 30% in the headline.
They used the term “jump” to imply that the number had gone up, but would come right back down again, like when you jump.
From 2021 to 2022, the quota for the Newfoundland and Labrador snow crab fishery increased by 32%.
In March 2022, savingseafood.org said “Maine’s lobster fishery scored a record-breaking value in 2021, with a 75% increase over 2020 and a 10% increase in landed weight.”
From 2020 to 2021, Maine’s lobster fishery volume increased by 10%.
In August 2021, suffolkgazette.com said “Giant six-foot lobster caught off Suffolk coast”.
The article goes on to say “The collosol crustacean is thought to have been lurking beneath the waves for around 80 years before wrapping itself around one of Steve Walsh’s lobster pots.
“I thought the pot was snagged on something because it took some hauling up,” said Steve, 43.
“I had to use my mechanical winch; imagine my surprise when this giant lobster came up.
“He was so big that one snip of his giant claws could have taken my arm off.”
Steve sought help from other fishermen nearby to land the giant lobster, believed to be the biggest ever caught in the UK. They put ropes around the claws to prevent serious injury.
They dubbed the lobster ‘Claws’ and put him on the beach to measure him and estimate his weight.
But Claws is not destined for restaurant cooking pots around Suffolk. Steve decided to put him back in his home below the North Sea. He will miss out on thousands of pounds from the seafood market, but believes it was the right thing to do.
“Something this old and beautiful deserves to live out its days in peace, where it belongs.”
In July 2022, spamchronicles.com said “New record season for Madelinot lobster fishermen”.
The article goes on to say “According to the Office of Lobster Fishermen of the Islands (OPHIM), catches totaled over 14.7 million pounds this year, a 24% increase from last year. This year’s result is also above the record set in 2020, which was £13.4million.”
From 2021 to 2022, Quebec’s lobster fishery volume increased by 24%.
In July 2022, actualnewsmagazine.com said "according to the publication “Seafood.com”, these Russian (snow crab) imports reached a monthly record in May, with volumes four times greater than normal.
