SHIPPAGAN, N.B. - About 50 RCMP officers converged on a small community in the Maritimes Saturday as tension between native and non-native fishermen erupted into chaos and fire.

It began when at least three fishing boats were set ablaze at a dock near the town of Shippagan, in northeastern New Brunswick.

The federal government had assigned the vessels to members of native bands who planned to catch East Coast crab.

By late Saturday night, angry demonstrators had filled the streets. Two fishing plants were set on fire, as well as a federal Department of Fisheries office, police told CBC News.

There were no reports of injuries or arrests.

Ottawa recently reduced the amount of crab that can be caught in the region, while increasing the number of people licensed to fish.

Local fishermen say they're worried that the intense competition for remaining stock, as well as bitterness caused by disputes over native fishing rights, will lead to more violence.

Dozens of Mounties continued to patrol the coastline around Shippagan early Sunday.
