Science Response 2016/035
Review of Scotian Shelf Snow Crab Assessment Results for 2015
Context
Advice on the status of the Scotian Shelf Snow Crab stock is requested annually by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Fisheries and Aquaculture Management Branch, and Industry, to help determine a Total Allowable Catch (TAC) for 2016. Science advice for the management of the Snow Crab stock was last provided at a fully peer-reviewed stock assessment at an inclusive Regional Advisory Process (RAP) meeting in February 2015 (Cook et al. 2015). The current report provides information on the post fishery stock status for 2015, and advice for management of the 2016 fishery.
This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process of March 3, 2016, on the Stock Status Update of Eastern Scotian Shelf and Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) Fishing Area 4X Snow Crab.
