5203 |a"The Jonah crab, Cancer borealis, occurs from from Canso, Nova Scotia to Florida, and is found from the intertidal zone to over 800 m. On the Scotian Shelf and in the Gulf of Maine, the species is the dominant crab away from shore. Although ubiquitous, distribution tends to be contagious with maximum abundances between -100 to 600 m. Currently, Jonah crab form only a by-catch to the lobster fishery off Nova Scotia and in the Bay of Fundy (total recorded landings were <10 t in 1985); a similar small-scale fishery exists in the Gulf of Maine. A directed Jonah crab fishery in LaHave/Emerald Basins and on the adjacent Shelf Edge achieved catches of 90 t and 149 t in 1983 and 1984 , respectively, before failing due to economics"--Abstract.
