Temperature conditions on the Scotian Shelf and in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence during 1998 relevant to snow crab / K.F. Drinkwater, R.G. Pettipas and W.M. Petrie. : Fs70-1/1999-18E-PDF

The purpose of this paper is to provide information on the sea temperature conditions during 1998 in areas occupied by snow crab and to compare these temperatures to their long-term means. As in last year's review, the analyses is tailored to the snow crab temperature preferences and fisheries areas. This includes areal indices of the ocean bottom covered by water temperatures between -1°C and 3°C on Sydney Bight, over the northeastern Scotian Shelf and for the Magdalen Shallows in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Monthly mean temperatures at specific depths within snow crab fishing zones provide further information on sea temperature trends. The paper begins with a description of the temperature data, then provide details of the methods used to analyze the temperature fields and finally present the results.
