Literature review on stock delimitations pertaining to the western Cape Breton Island snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) and advice on a spring fishery in area 18 / by Yvon Chiasson and Marcel Hébert.: Fs70-8/90-65E-PDF
"The available literature on stock delimitations in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is limited. Studies on electrophoretic characteristics of snow crab showed no differences between the eastern and western coast of Cape Breton Island. Tagging studies showed no definite patterns of movement in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Data collected from traps during the fishery showed different biological characteristics for Areas 18 and 19 of the western Cape Breton Island snow crab fishery. However, no conclusions can be drawn because the fishing seasons are different"--Summary, page 2.
