Assessment of Nova Scotia (4VWX) snow crab .: Fs70-6/2017-033E-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, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Maritimes Fisheries and Aquaculture Management requests from DFO Science an annual assessment of resource status. 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. Ecosystem and environmental indicators are also incorporated into the assessment. Commercial catch rates and other fishery statistics are reported. Advice for the next year is provided"--Context, p.
