Editorial director Tom Seaman brings you a roundup of the main stories from the previous week  

Undercurrent News reporters from Canada, Europe, Japan and the US were in Boston, Massachusetts, last week for a buzzing Seafood Expo North America (SENA). 

In addition to our blog, which you can recap here, we produced multiple standalone stories. 

The week's most-read story was one on dock prices for the snow crab fishery in Nova Scotia, Canada, which Undercurrent got from the SENA show floor. Meanwhile, contentious negotiations over the snow crab prices in the Newfoundland and Labrador fishery, the largest in Canada, also got a lot of interest.
