The effect of variable light intensity in luminescent-netting pots on the catch of snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) by Colin C.H. Frank, Shannon M. Bayse

“…There were mixed results among treatments, with the 2-strand pot catching fewer snow crab <103 mm carapace width (CW) and more snow crab ≥103 mm CW than the traditional pots, but overall, had a lower CPUE for legal and sub-legal sized males (14.8 and 3.1 per pot, respectively) than the traditional (16.1 and 5.5 per pot, respectively) when considering all size classes. When compared to the traditional, the 4-strand pot caught more legal and sub-legal (CPUE of 18.8 and 8.0 per pot, respectively) snow crab in terms of CPUE but caught fewer commercial snow crabs from 95 to 98 and 103–113 mm CW. …”
