The 2015 Season is set to begin!

 

The Cape Mariner 04 has set out on her maiden voyage of 2015 to “dump her traps”, which means Live Canadian Snow Crab will be ready for shipping starting April 21, 2015.   With the threat of major ice jams earlier in April, it is very fortunate we are able to get out this early in the season.  This spring shipping season will provide us with excellent quality, due in part to the cold weather we have had this winter causing the species to hibernate more than they might have else wise.  Longer hibernation periods lead to a later molting season than normal, higher meat yield, and better parameters come shipping time.  We love our crabs, and are very much looking forward to sharing them with the world again this year!

NovaCan Live Seafood LTD. is proud to welcome new additions to our group! With our recruitment now complete, we are excited to bring in new talent, energy, and drive to an already highly-energetic and enthusiastic team.  We are proud to have you here Matt, Shane, Noah, and Joann!

Lobster sseason starts May 1st, and we are looking to increase our exports of this product to more overseas markets.  Last year our mortality was well under the industry average for International shipments, and we are proud to have unprecedented access to Nova Scotias’ top quality hard shell lobsters, right here at our doorstep.  Start putting inquiries in today, for shipments to begin May 4th-9th.

Arichat to the World!  Let’s go 2015!

Soon to be reaching the peak of its season, NovaCan Live Seafood is well underway with great demand volumes. With an excellent staff and production team, sales of this current season have exceeded well over last years numbers, even with the unexpected ice jams within the harbor in late April pushing production a long 2 weeks later then supposed start date.

NovaCan continues to grow and as the warmer months continue, we’ve have had many new additions, from a new office layout as well as staff members to our own transportation truck and shipping cement pad.  We would like to thank our customers for their support as we have just shipped out our 10,000th box of live snow crab from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia!  Here’s to another 10,000!
