The Dungeness crab (metacarcinus magister) fishery in Burrard Inlet, B.C.: constraints on abundance-based management and improved access for recreational harvesters
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The British Columbia Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister) fishery is important to a diverse group of users, generating considerable value to coastal communities. While current management strategies have ensured sustainability and conservation of the species, persistently high exploitation by the commercial fishery limits access to the resource for First Nation and recreational crabbers. I evaluated the constraints on two possible management actions aimed at increasing access for recreational users. In chapter 1, I found that establishing abundance-based management using existing survey designs has potential for high use, multi-sector crab fisheries such as Burrard Inlet: provided that biases due to variable catchability are accounted for. In chapter 2, I demonstrated how discrepancies in requirements and responsibilities between the recreational and commercial sectors limit the scope of harvest rights attainable by the recreational sector. Reducing these discrepancies would help justify the changes to the management framework required to increase recreational access.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
