據(jù)外媒報道，由于擔心蝦產(chǎn)量走低，美國緬因州實施了捕蝦禁令，關(guān)閉了緬因州漁灣，緬因州及周邊幾個地區(qū)的漁民受到波及。
美國緬因州與加拿大的魁北克省和新不倫瑞克省緊鄰，產(chǎn)冷水蝦。據(jù)報道，捕蝦禁令使得更多的鮮甜、四分之一大小的加拿大蝦，流入了美國海鮮市場。數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2013-14年，加拿大出口至美國蝦的銷量增長了近20%，至3,050萬美元。
部分原文報道如下：
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.
