After more than 40 years in the Newfoundland and Labrador fishing industry, Nelson Bussey of Port de Grave knows when things are going well. And so far this year, he couldn t be happier. I think this will be the best year ever for the crab fishery, Bussey said recently, standing on the deck of his 65-foot fishing vessel, the Eastern Princess II.
Bussey has reason to be upbeat.
