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.
