Tagging of snow crab has long been used as a method of tracking animal movement. The majority of this tagging has occurred with the use of external (“spaghetti”) tags which require recapture of the tagged individual to determine the tag number and only provide information on the points of mark and recapture not on the intervening movements. Since 2013, snow crab have been tagged on the Scotian Shelf with the use of acoustic transmitting tags, allowing for remote tracking of these animals through existing acoustic receiver arrays. These tags are attached to the crab using both polyether tubing and a marine adhesive. Biological and geographic data for these tagged animals are stored with the Ocean Tracking Network to facilitate potential sharing of this data with other acoustic tracking projects. A detailed description of this novel tagging methodology and associated data management are provided within this document. gccst Fisheries resources gccst Crustaceans gccst Fisheries technology gccst Fisheries management Cameron, Brent.
