The 2017 assessment of the snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) stock in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence (areas 12, 19, 12E and 12F) / M. Hébert … [et al.].: Fs70-5/2018-046E-PDF
"Snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio, has been commercially exploited in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence (sGSL) since the mid-1960s. The present report presents the assessment and commercial biomass estimates for the 2018 snow crab fishery in the sGSL (Areas 12, 19, 12E and 12F). Biomass estimates and population characteristics by life stage are derived from a trawl survey conducted after the fishery covering the sGSL snow crab habitat. Risk analysis of catch options for the 2018 fishery relative to the commercial biomass and removal reference points is also presented"--Introd., p. 1.
