Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
1. To develop a low cost, long term, giant crab resource assessment and data
collection methodology.
2. To quantify biases in the historical logbook data to increase its value for
resource assessments.
3. To obtain industry’s understanding/observations of basic biological and
market processes (eg. moulting, egg-bearing, mating, migration, beach price
influences) and how their fishing effort is adapted to this knowledge (eg.
targeting of size classes, seasonality of effort, etc.).
4. To develop the ability to investigate alternative harvest strategies
(sustainability of different TACs; closed seasons etc.).
