"In the past few years, the yield obtained by the male only snow crab fishery in the northwestern Cape Breton has been increasing steadily. Together with the impressive catch rates, it suggests that the crab population is not optimally exploited and more fishermen could be admitted into the fishery. A decision on a suitable level of exploitation requires good estimates of standing stock, annual recruitment, growth, mortality and catchability of the gear. For that purpose, a tag-recovery study combined with catch-effort data analysis was initiated in 1978. The results from the first year of monitoring are analyzed in this document"--Introduction, page 1. Issued also in print format. gccst Crustaceans gccst Fisheries Canada.
