NOTE TO EDITORS--CORRECTION-FISHERIES LOBSTER FEES (CNS587)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The 6th paragraph should read:

Mr. Barkhouse said approximately 150 fishermen land less than $34
thousand worth of lobster each year. "Why should this group,
which represents 14 per cent of licence holders in LFA 34 pay the
same fee of $1,890 as lobster fishermen earning from $75 thousand
to several hundred thousand dollars."

Inserts the word "fee" in the second sentence.
