Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has a requirement for an annual snow crab survey that is conducted on the Scotian shelf for the purposes of stock assessment. The snow crab fishery is one of the most valuable fisheries in Atlantic Canada and the Scotian Shelf component of this fishery is considered to be the most conservative and relies heavily on quality data from this survey to make informed management decisions.
Field work will be carried out aboard a 65’ DFO chartered fishing vessel. Actual sampling of the catch will be carried out onboard the deck of said vessel as well as in a custom constructed scientific sampling lab onboard.
