Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A permanent trap fishery for northern pink shrimp (Pandalus borealis) was established in Chedabucto Bay, Nova Scotia in 1996 after several years of experimental trapping by one fisherman. Despite extensive experimental trapping projects elsewhere in Nova Scotia, only in one other area, Mahone Bay, has a long-term fishery been successfully established. The successful trapping of shrimp from small vessels off the coast of Nova Scotia appears to be dependant on a number of requisite conditions, including the presence of soft mud habitat and low temperatures in large, relatively deep coastal embayments. Catch rates for the established inshore trap fisheries increase in late summer-fall and decrease in spring, suggesting that an inshore migration occurs in the fall from adjacent “feeder” populations. In addition to the seasonal pattern of trapcatches, cyclical changes at a finer temporal scale were observed that appear to be related to tidal cycles, with higher catch rates associated with greater tidal ranges. Coupled with known diurnal vertical migratory behaviour, this pattern could arise as more water, and the shrimp within it, pass horizontally over the trap and come into contact with its bait plume during greater tidal ranges. More complex, selective vertical migration coupled with tidal drift may result in net movement into areas such as Chedabucto Bay. Analysis of length at sex transition and maximum size suggests that shrimp trapped in Chedabucto Bay come from the same population as those caught by trawlers inshore and offshore on the eastern Scotian Shelf. Shrimp trapped in Mahone Bay and St. Margaret’s Bay have significantly different growth characteristics and are probably from a different population. Thus the Mahone Bay and St. Margaret’s Bay population appears to be more locally confined than the widespread shrimp population on the eastern Scotian Shelf, possibly originating from areas within and immediately adjacent to these bays.Une pêche annuelle de la crevette nordique (Pandalus borealis) au casier a étéétablie dans la baie Chedabucto (Nouvelle‑Écosse) en 1996, après plusieurs années de pêche expérimentale au casier par un pêcheur. Malgré les nombreux projets de pêche expérimentale au casier menés ailleurs dans la province, une pêche à long terme a été établie avec succès dans seulement un autre secteur (la baie Mahone). La réussite de la pêche de la crevette au casier par les petits bateaux au large de la côte de la Nouvelle‑Écosse semble dépendre d’un certain nombre de conditions, y compris la présence d’un habitat vaseux mou et de basses températures dans de grandes échancrures relativement profondes de la côte. Les taux de capture pour les pêches côtières au casier établies augmentent à la fin de l’été et à l’automne et baissent au printemps, ce qui suggère que les crevettes migrent de populations sources vers la côte à l’automne. En plus de ce profil saisonnier des prises dans les casiers, deschangements cycliques à une échelle temporelle plus fine ont été observés et ceux‑ci semblent liés au cycle de marée, le taux de capture étant plus élevé lorsque l’amplitude de la marée est grande. Combiné au comportement de migration verticale diurne, ce profil pourrait survenir quand la quantité d’eau (et les crevettes qu’elle contient) qui passe horizontalement au-dessus des casiers est grande et qu’elle entre en contact avec le panache d’attractifs des casiers durant les périodes de grande amplitude de la marée. Une migration verticale sélective plus complexe combinée à une dérive tidale pourrait donner lieu à un mouvement net vers les secteurs comme la baie Chedabucto. L’analyse de la longueur au moment du changement de sexe et de la taille maximale suggère que les crevettes piégées dans la baie Chedabucto appartiennent à la mêmepopulation que celles capturées par les chalutiers en milieux côtiers et extracôtiers dans la partie est du plateau néo‑écossais. Les crevettes piégées dans les baies Mahone et St. Margaret’s ont des caractéristiques de croissance considérablement différentes et font probablement partie d’une autre population. Ainsi, la population des baies Mahone et St. Margaret’s semble avoir une aire de répartition beaucoup plus limitée que la population étendue de crevettes dans la partie est du plateau néo‑écossais, et elle provient peut-être de secteurs à l’intérieur de ces baies ou adjacents à celles-ci.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.
