Hard to Manage? Dynamics of Soft-Shell Crab in the Newfoundland and Labrador Snow Crab Fishery

Darrell R. J. Mullowney et al.

Summary: The study shows that seasonality and harvest rate interact to influence levels of soft-shell crab in the snow crab fishery. The optimal time for harvesting snow crab is during winter or early spring, and minimizing wastage can be achieved by maintaining a strong residual biomass of large hard-shell males in the population.

Size-at-maturity shift in a male-only fishery: factors affecting molt-type outcomes in Newfoundland and Labrador snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio)

Darrell R. J. Mullowney et al.

Summary: In some portions of the Newfoundland and Labrador snow crab stock range, a sex-asymmetric downward shift in size-at-terminal molt has occurred in males. Factors such as cold water expanse and large male density play significant roles in promoting this shift in size-at-terminal molt. This shift is associated with the recent increase in fishery exploitation rates and the low density of large male snow crabs.
