History
The Atlantic Queen Crab Association was formed ca. 1968 to create better marketing and fishery management of the crab fishery. It was in operation until the mid- to late-1980s, but with not much activity since the mid-1970s due to the high market values of crab. Past presidents of the Association included Les. N. Pottie, E.H. Janes, F.J. Frontain, and Emile Gallant.
Some members of the Association included Atlantic Queen Seafood Ltd., Bonavista Cold Storage, Beothic Fish Processors, Connors Brothers Ltd., Eastern Quebec Seafoods Ltd., National Sea Products, H.R. Nickerson and Sons Ltd., Quebec United Fishermen, United Maritime Fishermen, Quinlan Brothers, and Produits Belle-Bois Ltd.
