Summary note

The Snow Crab (Chionoecetes opilio) occurs over a broad depth range in the Northwest Atlantic from Greenland to the Gulf of Maine. Distribution in waters off Newfoundland and southern Labrador is widespread and continuous. Stock status is assessed annually within each Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) division. Resource status is evaluated based on trends in fishery catch per unit of effort (CPUE), exploitable biomass indices, recruitment prospects, and mortality indices. Data are derived from multi-species bottom trawl surveys in Divs. 2HJ3KLNOP, Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) inshore trap surveys in Divs. 3KLPs, fishery data from logbooks, observer catch-effort data, industry-DFO collaborative post-season (CPS) trap survey data, as well as biological sampling data from multiple sources. This document presents research survey data and fishery data toward evaluating the status of the Newfoundland and Labrador snow crab resources.--Includes text from document.
