Canadian Homarus americanus

Canadian Homarus americanus
The cold, clear waters of Atlantic Canada provide the top-quality lobsters known and appreciated around the world. Stringent management practices have ensured that Canadian landings have remained stable over a long period of time.
Annual landings have exceeded 54,000 tonnes.

The global market of 170,700 tonnes of lobster is composed of four main species or species groups:
American (the name given to the species caught in Atlantic Canada and the U.S. northeast), spiny, rock and European.
American lobster accounts for about 55% of total supply, with spiny lobster (a clawless warm water species) accounting for 36%. Rock (also clawless) and European lobster are much less abundant, accounting for only 6% and 3%,respectively.
