Stock status update of Scotian Shelf Snow Crab (Chionoecetes opilio, O.Fabricius).: Fs70-7/2021-033E-PDF
"In support of the Scotian Shelf Snow Crab fishery, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Maritimes Fisheries Management requests from DFO Science annual advice on the status of Scotian Shelf Snow Crab. This resource was last assessed in February 2020. The assessment of the status of Scotian Shelf 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 in this document; however, due to COVID-19 restrictions in place during the time the survey is conducted, the 2020 Snow Crab Survey did not take place. Impacts due to COVID-19 on landings and At-Sea-Observer data collection are also noted in this report"--Context, page [1].
