Fishing company owner alleges First Nation members are “poaching” eels in her licensed waterways

A judge has thrown out a contempt-of-court accusation against several New Brunswick First Nations and their chiefs in an ongoing elver fishery dispute.

The decision, read by Justice Arthur Doyle in Saint John Court of Kings Bench on Monday, is related to a larger lawsuit filed by Mary Ann Holland of Brunswick Aquaculture and Alder Seafood, where she alleges Indigenous fishers were “poaching” young American eels in her licensed waterways and harassing her employees.

In 2022, a judge ordered First Nations members to stop fishing in the the waterways designated to Holland by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans until the case is resolved.
