Aquatic/Fishing Industry Snapshot

Lobster

• The 2025 catch was down in Maine, compared to 2024. Continued favorable pricing helped compensate for the smaller landings. 

Scallops

• 2025 estimates are for lower total landings than 2024. However, pricing remains extremely favorable, averaging over $18 across all sizes, making up for the decline in volume. For 2026, they have received 36 open days-at-sea, which is an increase, but will have no closed area access.
