"The status of the Newfoundland and Labrador Snow Crab (Chionoecetes opilio) resource (Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization [NAFO] Divs. 2HJ3KLNOP4R) is assessed using a variety of metrics. The resource is assessed at large-scale Assessment Divisions (ADs), which are comprised of combinations of NAFO Divisions or Subdivisions. Former ADs 3L Inshore and 3LNO Offshore were combined into one AD (3LNO) in the current assessment. Resource status was evaluated based on trends in survey exploitable (≥95 mm carapace width [CW] male Snow Crab) biomass indices, fishery catch per unit effort (CPUE), fishery recruitment prospects, and mortality indices. Information was derived from multiple sources: multispecies bottom trawl surveys conducted during the fall in ADs 2HJ, 3K, and 3LNO and in the spring in AD 3Ps, two collaborative trap surveys covering all ADs, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) inshore trap surveys in ADs 3K, 3LNO, and 3Ps, fishery data from logbooks, landings from the dockside monitoring program, at-sea observer catch-effort data, and oceanographic surveys. …"--Abstract, page vi.
