DOI: 10.1007/s00300-019-02530-3
Abstract: The snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) is an invasive species new to the Barents Sea that expands its geographic range by larval drift and adult migration. To evaluate the potential spreading of the species in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fishres.2017.06.009
Abstract: Snow crab populations are found in the Northern Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific Oceans. Snow crab are generally considered to be a stenothermic species with distributions constrained by the available thermal habitat. Crab fishing area 4X… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fishres.2019.02.005
Abstract: Abstract In the commercial pot fishery for snow crab (Chionocetes opilio), size selection by the pots is important for reducing catch sorting and unintended mortality. In addition to mesh size and shape, selection in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fishres.2020.105680
Abstract: Abstract Snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) replaced northern cod (Gadus morhua) as the primary social and employment fishery in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) during the 1990s. For nearly three decades snow crab has supported thousands of… read more here.

Modelled dispersal of snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) larvae and potential settlement areas in the western Barents Sea
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "ICES Journal of Marine Science"
DOI: 10.1093/icesjms/fsad062
Abstract: Since the mid-1990s, a snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) population has established in the eastern Barents Sea. Spawning females and newly hatched larvae are now also found in the central Barents Sea, warranting speculations on a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icesjms/fsx169
Abstract: Knowledge of the vertical distribution, thermal habitat, and growth of the larvae of the cold stenothermic snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) is incomplete and inconsistent. This study explored aspects of the vertical distribution and development rate… read more here.
