The fish Price Setting Panel has sided with the FFAW in setting the price of snow crab for this season.
Harvesters were outraged with the $2.90 a pound put forward by the Association of Seafood Producers.
That, in addition to trip limits set by the ASP, caused frustrated harvesters to gather outside the FFAW building this past week seeking answers not once, but twice.
The price-setting panel released its final decision last night, siding instead with the $3.50 sought by the union.
The FFAW was in contact with the federal and provincial governments to fight for changes to be made as the fishery re-opened.
The season started on Monday.
