A fishermen’s advocacy group is calling on fishermen in southwestern Nova Scotia to either stay home or hold back their catch until lobster prices go up.<\/p>\n

The 1688 Professional Lobster Fishermen’s Association will hold meetings on Wednesday in Yarmouth and Barrington to discuss the issue.<\/p>\n

Fishermen have been hauling in a record harvest since the winter season began last week.<\/p>\n

But the large catches are flooding the market and driving down prices.<\/p>\n

Lobster has been selling in most areas of southwestern Nova Scotia for three dollars per pound.<\/p>\n

The association claims fishermen need five dollars per pound in order to make a profit.<\/p>\n
