Which seafood catch is most important to Prince Edward Island fishers?

For fishers in Prince Edward Island, the lobster catch is the most important component of the fishing industry. While other species such as oysters, clams, and scallops are also significant, the lobster fishery remains the primary focus for the province's fishers. Additionally, some fishers participate in the harvesting of cod, haddock, tuna, and mackerel in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the province has seen the development of aquaculture enterprises that focus on the culture of mussels, oysters, and salmonids.1
