Crab found inside the stomachs of seals is reigniting a debate about whether a seal cull is needed.
While politicians across the spectrum say something must be done to decrease animal predation of fish stocks, there is no consensus on which approach is best.
CBC News was invited to see at times in graphic detail crab that had been eaten by seals off Fleur de Lys. Plant owner Brad Rideout, after slicing open a bearded seal s stomach and describing the different parts of its content, called the unharvested crab money gone to waste.

Halfway into the Newfoundland and Labrador election, none of the three main parties has released a platform.
Liberal Leader Andrew Furey, who was sworn in as premier in August, told reporters earlier this week voters can expect a fully costed Liberal platform some time next week, in plenty of time for people to digest and then look at where we stand before they go to the polls.
A spokeswoman for Furey s campaign said Friday the party hadn t decided yet what day next week to release the document.
ST. JOHN S, N.L. An untraceable cluster of COVID-19 cases in Newfoundland and Labrador has the Progressive Conservative party shaking its finger once again at the timing of the provincial election. Tory Leader Ches Crosbie said Thursday in a statement Liberal Leader and incumbent Premier Andrew Furey must explain again why he chose a Feb. 13 election day, sending voters to the polls in the middle of winter and during a global pandemic. Crosbie said he was prompted to pen the release after chief medical officer of health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald said officials were unable to identify the source of a COVID-19 infection that had bloomed into a cluster of four cases.
