Using underwater video to evaluate the performance of the Fukui trap as a mitigation tool for the invasive European green crab (Carcinus maenas) in Newfoundland, Canada (#20010)

20 The European green crab (Carcinus maenas) is a destructive marine invader that was first 21 discovered in Newfoundland waters in 2007 and has since become established in nearshore 22 ecosystems on the south and west coast of the island. Targeted fishing programs aimed at 23 removing green crabs from invaded Newfoundland ecosystems use Fukui traps, but the capture 24 efficiency of these traps...

Investigating mitigation of juvenile European green crab Carcinus maenas from seed mussels to prevent transfer during Newfoundland mussel aquaculture operations

The mussel aquaculture industry has raised concerns following the discovery of green crab Carcinus maenas in Placentia Bay Newfoundland in August 2007. Post-larval green crabs have been found in feral mussel beds in high densities in Europe. If this is true for other green crab populations, mussel seed transfers from Placentia Bay could provide a vector for post-larval juvenile crab transfer to...

Break-even analysis for a green crab fishery in PEI, Canada

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans in Canada is experimenting with a commercial fishery on the European green crab (Carcinus maenas), an invasive species in North America, to help reduce the negative impact this animal has on ecosystems and native shellfish populations. We determined the break-even price that fishers would require for green crabs under different fishing scenarios (i.e. diff...
