HALIFAX — Nova Scotia’s massive lobster industry is bracing for what’s to come as it deals with the effects of tariffs imposed by China and awaits an identical 25 per cent duty by the United States.

China’s tariffs on Canadian seafood took effect March 20, while the U.S. duties are expected to kick in on Wednesday.

Stewart Lamont, managing director of Tangier Lobster Company Ltd., on Nova Scotia’s eastern shore, says the industry is “incredibly anxious” as it waits to see how prices are affected.
