An overview of catch, effort and biological trends for the 1986 snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio, fisheries in areas 18 and 19, western Cape Breton Island / by Kevin G. Davidson and Michel Comeau.: Fs70-8/87-53E-PDF

"Biological characteristics of the snow crab populations fished in Areas 18 and 19 (formerly Areas 7 and 1 respectively) were monitored during the 1986 fishing season by port sampling and sea sampling of the catches.
