For the second time in a month, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has moved against a lobster pound in southwest Nova Scotia. DFO crackdownIn August, the department seized 100 crates of lobster worth an estimated $50,000 from a seafood distributor in New Edinburgh, outside Weymouth. DFO officers also seized lobster gear that month after identifying violations including the illegal use of bait and untagged or invalid tags on traps. DFO said the investigation at the New Edinburgh distributor was "not directly" related to the restaurant and lobster trap inspections. The other bustIn October 2017, DFO raided the Guang Da International lobster pound in Belliveaus Cove and seized lobster from Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
