Assessment of the 1998 Newfoundland and Labrador snow crab fishery / D.M. Taylor and P.G. O'Keefe.: Fs70-1/1999-143E-PDF
Summaries of fishery performance in the Newfoundland and Labrador snow crab fishery are provided for 34 management areas within five NAFO divisions. Comparative data are provided on yearly landings, effort and CPUE's for individual management areas and fleet components. In 1998 landings reached a record level of 52,070 t, a 13.4% increase over those achieved in 1997. This increase in landings is due to continuing high levels of abundance of commercial-sized animals in most snow crab management areas as well as the prosecution of the fishery in previously unfished areas. In addition to fishery performance statistics, a figure illustrating fishing positions reported from the 1998 logbooks is presented.
