食品伙伴网讯   据外媒报道，由于担心虾产量走低，美国缅因州实施了捕虾禁令，关闭了缅因州渔湾，缅因州及周边几个地区的渔民受到波及。

    美国缅因州与加拿大的魁北克省和新不伦瑞克省紧邻，产冷水虾。据报道，捕虾禁令使得更多的鲜甜、四分之一大小的加拿大虾，流入了美国海鲜市场。数据显示，2013-14年，加拿大出口至美国虾的销量增长了近20%，至3,050万美元。

    Maine fishmonger Glen Libby made a disheartening discovery during brunch on Easter Sunday - the cold water shrimp on the menu at a restaurant up the street from his fish market were from Canada, not New England.

    More of the sweet, quarter-sized crustaceans from Canada are turning up in American restaurants and seafood markets since a ban on fishing for Maine shrimp dried up local sources. The value of imports of Canada's shrimp into the United States grew nearly 20 per cent, to more than $30.5-million （U.S.）， from 2013 to 2014, federal statistics say. Canadian deliveries of cold-water shrimp to Maine alone more than doubled, to nearly 100 tonnes, in that time, Canadian authorities said.
