Assessment of Nova Scotia (4VWX) snow crab .: Fs70-6/2015-034E-PDF
"Snow Crab have been a dominant macro-invertebrate in the Scotian Shelf Ecosystem (SSE) since the decline of the groundfish. The fishery has been in existence since the early 1970s in Nova Scotia. In support of the fishery, DFO Maritimes Fisheries and Aquaculture Management requests from DFO Science an annual assessment of resource status. This document is a scientific overview of the assessment. An assessment of the status of 4VWX Snow Crab is based on fishery independent surveys using indicators of abundance, reproductive potential, recruitment, and exploitation rates. Commercial catch rates and other fishery statistics are reported. Harvest advice for the next year is provided"--Context, p. [1].
