Use of length-based models to estimate biological parameters and conduct yield analyses for male Dungeness crab (Cancer magister)

Abstract: Length-based models were developed for the male Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) population on the Fraser delta near Vancouver, British Columbia. The models incorporate the probability of moulting, moult increments, natural mortality during moulting and non-moulting periods, direct fishing mortality, and handling mortality that occurs when sublegal-sized crabs are caught and released. The models were used to investigate how long-term yield might be affected by the combination of handling mortality and an inten… Show more

“…Data upon growth, reproduction and recruitment are currently being analysed to model different exploitation scenarios and develop management strategies using matrix and lengthbased models (Miller 2001;Smith and Addison 2003;Zhang et al 2004). Future works should also address the ecological sustainability of this fishery, i.e.…”

“…crabs, shrimps and amphipods) that reach adulthood at relatively smaller sizes, predation pressure is higher on larger organisms, allowing to reach maturity at younger age, and consequently at smaller size, and to reproduce before being killed. This hypothesis implies that natural factors may explain the increase in the presence of this phenotype (small size) in the population (Wellborn 1994;Schlining and Spratt 2000;Zhang et al 2004). Unfortunately, the effects of pollutants, environmental variables on development of T. dulongii and data of potential predators in both environments are lacking, so the explanation of the proximal causes of the observed differences would require more studies and detailed laboratory and field experiments.…”

“…According to Grift et al (2003), maturation of an individual appears to be related to the size of the individual at an age. Zhang et al (2004) focused on length-structured model which has many advantages over age-structured model.…”
