Description:In the spring of 1980, there was widespread dissatisfaction among fishermen, especially otter trawler owners and crew, with the level of price received ex-vessel. As the fishermen's costs rose due to the general inflationary trend, the ex-vessel prices of some types of groundfish fell below seasonal averages. Yet in the face of these declining dock prices the retail price of fish continued to rise, to a point where in June 1980 fish cost 225K more than it did in 1967, as compared with a 146X increase in meat prices and an 81K increase in poultry prices in the same 13-year period. This paradox provoked both disbelief and discontent as the fisherman watched his slice of what appeared to be a growing pie somehow shrink.
