Temperature conditions on the Scotian Shelf and in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence during 1999 relevant to snow crab / K.F. Drinkwater, R.G. Pettipas and W.M. Petrie. : Fs70-1/2000-058E-PDF

The purpose of this paper is to provide information on the sea temperature conditions during 1999 in areas occupied by snow crab and to compare these temperatures to their long-term means. The analyses are 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 Magdellan shallows in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Monthly mean temperature profiles and time series of the monthly mean temperatures at specific depths within snow crab fishing zones provide further information on sea temperature trends. Also included is an analysis of the temperature trends in those portions of 4X within which there was an exploratory fishery. Temperature data is described, then details of the methods used to analyze the temperature data are provided and finally the results are presented.
