A snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio, fishery collapse in Newfoundland / by D.M. Taylor, P.G. O'Keefe and C. Fitzpatrick.: Fs70-8/90-63E-PDF

"A fishery for snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio, began in 1979 in a shallow water (<200 m) area off the Avalon Peninsula in southeastern Newfoundland and developed rapidly with landings peaking at 8609 t in 1981. Landings began to decline in 1982, dropping to 74 t in 1985. This fishery collapse was coincidental with similar declines in CPUE and abundance of newly-molted male snow crab"--Abstract, page 2.
