A federal court has ruled that a group of fishermen can sue one of the world’s largest seafood watchdog groups for defamation for publishing a report that described Maine lobster as an unwise choice for consumers. The coalition representing the Maine lobster industry is suing Monterey Bay Aquarium in California for recommending that seafood customers avoid buying a variety of lobster New England fishermen have harvested for centuries. Seafood Watch, operated by the aquarium, placed the lobster on its red list of seafood to avoid due to the threat posed to rare whales by entanglement in gear. The court last month ruled against a bid from the aquarium to toss the lawsuit.
