Snow Crab Quality Handling Practices:
A definitive study of the current practices used in handling snow crab is required in order fully understand what practices are best. Fishermen generally know how to keep snow crab alive and healthy during fishing and storage operations. What is not known are the best methods based on a detailed knowledge of present practices and an assessment of how differing methods affect the physiology and health of snow crab. This project relates to a study of handling practices and the development of training tools. In the first part of the project, information was gathered, assessed and the best practices were determined. In the second phase of the project, training tools were developed to demonstrate best practices. These training tools include a training video, a handbook and an instructor’s manual for a 1/2 day workshop.

The objective of
this project is to assist the NS Fisheries Sector
Council’s efforts to ensure that the snow crab industry
is positioned to address their critical labour market
challenges in their sector. Specifically, the NSFSC
will identify the skill sets and handling practices
required and the best practices thereof, to ensure that
this lucrative industry is positioned to remain
competitive on a global market and that it will have a
competent and skilled workforce to sustain the industry.
