Cover title. Includes bibliographical references (pages 9-10). "The potential for commercial lobster concentrations on the outer shelf in NAFO Div. 4W is indicated from a review of lobster surveys, lobster bycatch in both groundfish surveys and the red crab fishery, and the similarity in physical and oceanographic conditions on the slope area from Georges Bank to Sable Island Bank. The lack of an active trap fishery in the area makes it impossible to estimate the size or extent of the commercial concentrations. The relationship of lobster in 4W and 4X and inshore fisheries is unknown. There is little evidence available to suggest a direct connection between the outer shelf and coastal areas in 4W. An experimental fishery, which could be combined with red crab, is suggested as a means of determining stock size, the relationships to other grounds, and economic viability. A separate lobster fishing district is suggested to assure additional effort is not applied to the existing 4X/5Ze fishing areas"--Abstract, page 2. Includes abstract and series statement in French.
