    On December 1, the Canadian Marine Fisheries Agency (DFO) held a conference call to say that the LFA34 season will continue to be delayed
    due to excessive winds in the southern Nova Scotia in recent days.
     
    According to the Canadian Cold-Water Lobster Association (CLA), whenever the surface wind exceeds 26 knots, regardless of the wind direction
    , the closure of the fishing season will be automatically triggered.
    If the wind drops below 25 knots, port representatives will have to decide whether it is safe to go to sea
    based on a collective vote of their respective ports.
     
    At 10 a.
    m.
    local time on Thursday, Environment Canada issued another storm warning, based on readings from the southwest coast buoy, the westward wind reached 25 to 35 knots on the day, and after midnight the wind direction turned northwest, the wind force was 25 knots, and it would weaken to 15 knots on Friday morning, and the wind continued to weaken
    on Friday afternoon.
    On Thursday night and Friday, the wave height reached four to six meters, receded to three meters near midnight, and dropped to one to two meters
    by Friday afternoon.
     
    Marine Fisheries Canada will meet again on Dec.
    2 to decide whether a catch
    can be declared Sunday or next Monday, depending on weather conditions.
     
    According to the tradition of the Canadian lobster fishing industry, the last Monday of November is the start day of the two largest lobster producing areas in Canada (LFA33/34), which was originally scheduled for November 28 this year
    .
    But historically, DumpingDay has often been postponed due to weather, and this year is no exception
    .
     
    LFA33/34 is located in southern Nova Scotia and accounts for one-third
    of Canada's total lobster production.
    Canadian lobster production in 2021 was 102,530 tonnes, of which LFA 33 produced 7,452 tonnes and LFA 34 produced 20,594 tonnes, the combined production of 28,046 tonnes and an output value of approximately C$567 million
