Cuba is on 4th. place on world production of lobsters.

The circular symbol below the lobster image represents fishing: a circle, with wavy lines in it, representing a river, and the shape of a fish within.

Cuba has a great industry on fishing, including sea captures of lobsters, tuna and shrimp. Also has facilities to grow fishes and other water productions.
