(Steve Lawrence/CBC) The owner of a lobster pound in Nova Scotia and his company were fined a total of $100,000 Monday for illegally selling lobster harvested by First Nations. Shen Ren Zheng was caught shipping lobsters to China in 2017 that were harvested by a member of the Sipekne katik band under multiple food, social and ceremonial licences in St. Marys Bay in southwest Nova Scotia. The licence conditions prevent the sale of the catch. In handing down the sentence, provincial court judge Tim Landry said the offence was intentional illegal act and rejected Zheng s claim that it was an accident.
