Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland

CSAR staff have conducted several biological resource assessments for under-utilized species found in the waters around Newfoundland and Labrador. Working with industry and government, our research staff have developed offshore sampling surveys, documented biological and morphological characteristics for species of interest, mapped population distributions and habitat preferences and provided scientific advice for sustainable exploitation. Recent species include Atlantic hagfish, orange-footed sea cucumber and toad crab.
