' Good Fishing Season lteporied An excellent fishing season: gen. eraily speaking, is the opinion of men in the industi-fy regarding 1953 year. Though no figures are available it is thought that the entire industry is in a. far health- ier condition than A year ago. This latter feeling is engender- ed by the ready market available and the fact that there is not. the necessity this year for the ex- cessive storage of past seasons. This means a lot. especially where the fillets are.Conce1'1'led. Though the lobster catch was admittedly lower, it is felt that except in individual cases of early losses in gear the relatively high price received offset the lower take iAddlng to the landed value this year too is the work of the drag- gers operating generally out of Souris. The catches they have landed have added a great deal to the total tonnage and the value to the fishermen. on December 2nd. and in this way show their co-operation with this lbcrvice which is -for all.
