Overview of biology for deep-sea red crab, Geryon quinquedens, in the Northwest Atlantic / by Robert W. Elner.: Fs70-8/86-82E-PDF

"There is a paucity of biological information relevant to management unit definition for deep-sea red crab, Geryon quinquedens. The species is distributed predominantly along the edge of the Scotian Shelf and continental slope to Argentina; concentrations are most dense from 300 to 900 m at temperatures of 50 to 8°C. Red crab constitutes a new developing Canadian fishery; however, management units have yet to be defined. Since 1984 the Canadian fishery (yet exploratory) has been prosecuted by two vessel strapping between Western and Emerald Banks. Catches were 118 t and 468 t in 1984 and 1985, respectively"--Abstract.
