Sustainability of Brown Crab Stocks – With Studies on Behaviour and Migrations |
Aim
To produce a methodology that will enable the crab fishers to evaluate themselves the sustainability of the stock they exploit. Fishermen are distinctly aware of the movement patterns of crabs, and have ideas on what factors may be linked to changes to migration and behaviour. CEFAS bring the technological and analytic skills to be able to work with fishermen on tracking the movements of crabs and resolving more closely the factors that may influence crab behaviour.
