Sandy's impact lingers for seafood supply chain
Physical damage from Tropical Storm Sandy was limited in Maine, but damage elsewhere along the East Coast is having repercussions for the state's seafood industry.
Peter McAleny, owner of New Meadows Lobster Co. in Portland, told The Associated Press that distributors and restaurants in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are not buying due to damages there.
In Maine, the AP reported no deaths and 90,000 left without power, revised from a previous report of 150,000, in the wake of the storm.
Damage elsewhere along the coast has been more severe, the news service reported, killing at least 92 people and knocking out power for around 8.5 million at its peak.
