"Lobster fishing is prevalent throughout the Atlantic provinces, but the size and value of catch and length of season differ greatly among districts. Regulations have been imposed for over 100 years, chiefly to prevent lobsters being landed, caught or canned when their value was low owing to small size, softness of shell or females being "berried". These original elements have been incorporated into a modern regulatory system intended to deal with excessive pressure on the stock and declining landings. In the 1940s and 1950s licensing became the means of confining fishermen to particular districts, setting size limits, and closing the fishery during off seasons. A third group of regulations introduced since the 1950s has reduced the number of licensed fishing enterprises, and the number and type of trap per enterprise"--Summary, p. vii.
