Assessment of snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence (areas 12, 19, 12E and 12F) to 2017 and advice for the 2018 fishery . : Fs70-6/2018-007E-PDF

"Snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio, has been commercially exploited in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence since the mid-1960s. There are four individually managed fishing areas among which Area 12 is the largest fishery in terms of its fishable surface, number of participants and landings. In Areas 12, 12E and 12F, the fishing season generally starts in April-May as soon as the Gulf is clear of ice and continues into early summer while in Area 19, the fishery opens after June 30 and usually ends in mid-September. The landing of females is prohibited and only hard-shelled males ≥ 95 mm of carapace width are commercially exploited"--Context, p. [1].
