INTRODUCTION

Crab fisheries have long been important in British Columbia (B.C.), with aboriginal harvests pre-dating European contact and commercial harvests reported as early as 1885 (Butler 1984, 1986; Winther and Phillips 2002). The most important species harvested commercially, recreationally and by First Nations in B.C. is the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister). In 2002, Dungeness crabs ranked second among all Pacific Region wild shellfish fisheries in total landings (4,100 tonnes) and second in total wholesale value ($28 million Cdn) (MAFF 2002). Dungeness crabs represented 26.8% of the landed value ($106.8 million Cdn) of all B.c. shellfish species. Other crab species fished under the "R" licence are the red rock crab (Cancer productus), red king crab (Paralithodes camtschatica), and the golden king crab (Lithodes aequispina) . . Tanner and snow crabs (Chionoecetes sp.) are important, commercially exploited species in Alaska, Japan and the Atlantic region of Canada. Prior to 1993, permits were issued by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to fish inshore Tanner crabs (Chionoecetes bairdi) in British Columbia. In 1993, DFO suspended the issuance ofpem1its for Tanner crabs through a moratorium on new shellfish licenses although landings of C. bairdi continued until 2000 (Krause et. al. 2001; Winther and Phillips 2002). A review of commercial sales slip data for B.c. revealed 65 landings of C. bairdi from 1988 to 2000 totaling 14.85 tonnes (Krause et. al. 2001). Tanner crabs were exclusively fished from the North Coast, Pacific Management Fishery Areas (PFMA) 1 to 6, usually in the red king crab fishery. Responses from a questionnaire to "R" license fishers shows incidental catches of Tanner crabs occurred in most areas of the coast. Interest in developing a fishery for C. bairdi occurred when Tanner crabs were caught incidentally in other crab fisheries. In the early 1980's, DFO conducted several surveys for C. bairdi throughout the Central and North Coast of British Columbia and found no significant, commercially exploitable populations (Butler 1986; Krause et. al. 2001). More recently, interest in developing a fishery for C. bairdi has surfaced as local communities and First Nations explore new fishery resources to increase economic opportunities.

PHASED APPROACH TO FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT

Investigations for any new or developing invertebrate fishery in Canada follow a phased approach. The Pacific Scientific Advice Review Committee (PSARC) has endorsed a threephased framework for provision of scientific advice for the management of new fisheries (Perry et al. 1999). This framework guides development of new fisheries using precautionary, risk averse principles based on sound scientific research and advice. The three phases are: Phase O. Information review: A collection and review of all existing literature and data on the biology, fisheries and fisheries management is undertaken for the target species, related species and other species. Critical information gaps are identified and recommendations of appropriate methods for addressing those information gaps are provided.

Phase 1. Investigations for new infonnation: Based on the recommendations of the Phase 0 literature review, a framework for gathering data and research to address the information gaps is identified. These investigations or studies can include, but are not limited to, experimental fisheries, fishery independent surveys, biological sampling programs, and laboratory analysis. These studies often determine the distribution or abundance, life history, biological characteristics and impacts on habitat or other species. Phase 2. Fishing for information: The resource is harvested under experimental management regimes to ascertain the productivity of the stock in question; determine whether the species or stock can sustain a commercially viable fishery; and test the effectiveness of fishing methods. Ongoing monitoring and biological infonnation collection is an integral part of this phase in the development of the fishery and would likely remain an ongoing requirement of any future commercial fishery.

The Phase 0 information review for C. bairdi was completed by Krause et al. (2001). The paper recommended fishery development based on local reproductive biology; use of standardized gear for obtaining infonnation on distribution, biological characteristics, stock structure and life history strategy; tagging studies to investigate population size, stock structure and season migrations; and a biological sampling program. As part of this phased approach, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and the Wuikinuxv Nation have undertaken a cooperative Phase 1 assessment of C. bairdi in the traditional territory of the Wuikinuxv Nation, located in the Central Coast region of B.C. Objectives ofthe Phase 1 assessment are: to assess inshore Tanner crab distribution and abundance; gather morphometric information to determine size at maturity; gather habitat preference information; and determine species interactions in the Rivers Inlet system and Fitz Hugh Sound. This paper presents information that will be used in a Phase 1 document for C. bairdi. The Wuikinuxv Nation Fisheries Program (WNFP) completed a systematic trap survey of the Rivers Inlet system and portions ofFitz Hugh Sound from the FN WESTERN BOUNTY from January 20-February 20, 2004. DFO Stock Assessment personnel completed a trawl and tr~p survey ofthe same area from the CCGS NEOCALIGUS between March 10-16,2004. The results of exploratory trap and trawl surveys carried out in 2004 in Rivers Inlet, B.C. are presented. These surveys were undertaken to gather information on distribution, abundance and biology of Tanner crabs. A mark-recapture program was a component of the exploratory trap survey for assessing dispersal, seasonal or sexual migration and abundance. Preliminary results of the tagging program are also presented.

TANNER CRAB BIOLOGY

Inshore Tanner crabs are included in the family Majidae. Majid or spider crabs are true crabs, having four sets of walking legs and two claws; unlike Lithodid crabs (Family Lithodidae), which have 3 sets of walking legs and two claws. Four species of Chionoecetes

crabs are found in the eastern Pacific Ocean: C. bairdi or inshore Tanner crab; C. opilio, or snow crab; C. tanneri, or grooved Tanner crab; and C. angulatus, or angle Tanner crab (Jadamec et al. 1999). Three ofthese species (c. bairdi, C. tanneri, and C. angulatus) are found in B.C. waters (Hart 1982). Inshore Tanner crabs are distributed in the North Pacific Ocean from Oregon to the Bering Sea. In British Columbia, C. bairdi are found throughout coastal inlets and fjords at depths of 10-475 m although some have been recorded in offshore areas of the coast. The grooved Tanner crab (c. tanneri) and angle Tanner crab (c. angulatus) are distributed in the North Pacific Ocean along the continental slope from Mexico to the Gulf of Alaska at depths of 400-1 ,944 m and 9003,000 m, respectively (Hart 1982).

C. bairdi is distinguished by its orange-brown colour dorsally, pink-cream colour ventrally and relatively flat branchial lobes (Figure 1). The deepwater species (c. tanneri and C. "angulatus) are red or orange in color and have enlarged branchial lobes (Hart 1982; Jadamec et al. 1999). Crabs grow incrementally by moulting or shedding the old shell and expanding into a soft new shell, which then hardens. The stages of growth between moults are referred to as instars. Female Tanner crabs pass through 12 instars and terminally moult to maturity in the 13 th instar at approximately 5 years of age (Jadamec et al. 1999). Males mature in approximately 6 years after as many as 18 moults; whether males undergo a terminal moult is still unknown. Shell hardness is a subjective categorical scale used to estimate the amount of time since the last moult. A gestalt of information, including resistance to pressure; wear or abrasion of carapace spines, dactyl tips and claws; color; presence and size of epibiont fauna; and relative morbidity are used to assign crabs to shell hardness categories (Appendix Table 1). The sexes are distinguished by a broadened abdomen in females (to carry eggs after extrusion) and enlarged chelae in mature males. Measurements of the fifth abdominal somite and the claws are used to determine morphological maturity of female and male crabs, respectively. Grasping behaviour during mating, in which males grasp and hold females by their walking legs, leave distinctive mating marks on the female. Color is used to estimate the stage of development of eggs; newly extruded eggs are orange and gradually darken to brown as prezoeae develop and eyespots appear. Adult male C. bairdi are about 90-140 mm in carapace width (CW) and adult females are about 65-110 mm in carapace width.

METHODS Our aim for trap set locations include the tag and release of Tanner crabs, gathering morphometric data, capturing bycatch information and estimating trap efficiency. Reviews of shrimp trawl and prawn fishery logbooks showed that limited commercial effort in both fisheries occur in the Rivers Inlet area. A larger commercial shrimp trawl fishery takes place in Fitz Hugh Sound. A review of the commercial Dungeness logbooks revealed minimal commercial effort and none since 2002. None of these fisheries were notified directly of the

tagging program. A review of the Option B groundfish trawl observer data (1996-2003) showed no records of Tanner crab by-catch, although observer coverage was minimal.

STUDY AREA

The study area includes Rivers Inlet (center approximately 51 °38, 127°32) and Fitz Hugh Sound (center approximately 51 °42, 127°57), located in the Central Coast region ofRe. The study area includes all ofPFMA 9 and portions ofPFMA 8, primarily subareas 8-16 and 8-3 (Figure 2). The study area is approximately 642 km2 and maximum depth is 385 m. This area was chosen at the request of the proponents. We divided the study area into the following subareas: Moses Inlet (Figure 3 and Figure 4), Hardy Inlet (Figure 5), Upper Rivers Inlet (Figure 6), Middle Rivers Inlet (Figure 7), Lower Rivers Inlet (Figure 8), Draney Inlet (Figure 9), Darby Channel (Figure 10) and Fitz Hugh Sound (Figure 11 and Figure 12).

TRAP SURVEY

Vessel and Gear Configuration The WNFP trap survey was conducted from the FN Western Bounty, a 16.7 m trawler/longliner, between January 20 and February 20, 2004. The survey utilized both Tanner traps and Dungeness traps. Tanner traps were nesting 1.35 m square pyramidal top-loading traps with 7.0 cm mesh. Dungeness traps were circular stainless steel traps with single wire 6.0-8.0 cm stainless steel mesh and two triggered tunnels. Tanner traps were baited with 1.0 kg of herring in 1.0 L perforated bait jars and Dungeness traps were baited with 0.5 kg of herring in 0.5 L perforated bait jars. Escape ports were closed on both trap types. Baits were used only once and soak times were approximately 24 hours. Tanner traps were deployed either on individual buoylines (single sets) or on groundlines buoyed at both ends. Five Tanner traps were deployed singly across estuaries or in narrow channels at depths of approximately 50 m and 100 m with 50-300 m spacing depending on the available area. Groundlines were deployed at specified depths throughout the study area with five Tanner crab traps attached at 80 m spacing along the groundline. Dungeness traps were individually deployed across estuaries at depths of 15-25 m and with approximately 100 m spacing, although this varied depending on the available area. Vessel size prevented deployment of traps in waters shallower than 15 meters. DFO trap survey was conducted from the CCGS Neocaligus, a 25 m trawl/trap research vessel. The trap survey utilized five trap types: Tanner trap, Dungeness trap, prawn trap, shrimp trap and snow crab trap). Tanner traps were 1.22 m base, square pyramidal metal frame nesting traps with 7.0 cm nylon mesh. Dungeness traps were circular stainless steel traps with single wire 6.0-8.0 cm stainless steel mesh and two triggered tunnels. Prawn traps were stainless steel

.

\

circular, stackable traps with 1.9-2.9 cm nylon web. Shrimp traps were steel circular, stackable traps with 1.6-1.9 cm knotless nylon mesh. Snow crab traps (modified East Coast design) were top-loading stainless steel, conical nesting traps with 7.5-8.0 stainless steel mesh and a bottom diameter of 1.22 m. Dungeness traps were baited with 0.5 kg of herring in 0.5 L perforated bait jars while Tanner traps and snow crab traps were loaded with two 0.5 L perforated bait jars each containing 0.5 kg of herring. Prawn traps and shrimp traps were baited with one can of cat food grade tuna. Escape ports were closed on all traps, except prawn and shrimp traps which were not equipped with escape ports. Baits were used only once and soak times were approximately 24 hours. Tanner traps were deployed on groundlines buoyed at both ends. Two sets (N 4 and N 5) (Table 3) were buoyed only at one end and only 4 traps were attached. Trap types varied on each groundline and the number of traps ranged from eight to 13. However, three Tanner crab traps were deployed on each groundline, one at each end and one in the middle. Spacing between traps was approximately 40 m.

Survey Design Systematic designs were used for the WNFP and DFO surveys. Random sites or locations were not chosen due to the limited knowledge of Tanner crab distribution in the study area. Sampling locations were based on habitat type, depth, vessel capability and anecdotal information supplied by local fishers. Additional considerations for Neocaligus set locations included sampling for juveniles, and for recapture of previously tagged crabs. Depths shallower than 50 m were not sampled by the Neocaligus due to vessel size and absence of local knowledge. TRAWL SURVEY

Vessel and Gear Configuration Trawling was conducted only from the CCGS Neocaligus. The Neocaligus was fitted with a 13.4 m flat trawl shrimp net (Figure 13) and fished with 1.7 m2 Thyboron trawl doors. The net was rigged with 20.3 cm bobbins in the bosom, the head rope was 12.5 m and the foot rope was 13.1 m. The wings and body of the net were constructed of 5.0 cm polypropylene web. The codend was built of 5.0 cm web and was equipped with a 1.3 mm mesh codend liner for all sets. Sweeps and bridles were 27.4 m in length. The vertical opening ofthe net was approximately 3.1 m. Set locations were determined using a Furuno GPS and trawl tracks were plotted using NOBELTEC software.

.

\

6 Survey Design As with the trap survey, a systematic design was chosen. Trawl locations were predetermined; considerations for location included sampling for juveniles and inventory of benthic communities. Consideration was also given to sea floor type to avoid logs and net damage. The actual tow direction and track for each set location was determined by the captain. If a set location was determined unfishable by the captain, an adjacent location of similar depth was selected.

SAMPLING METHODS Catch and Effort Information Data collected on fishing location, depth, dates, soak hours for traps and duration for trawling were recorded on standard DFO crab bridgelog forms and entered into a MS Access field database. Trawl catches were sorted to species level and weighed as an aggregate for the tow to the nearest 0.01 kg. A motion-compensated electronic scale (Marel® series 1100) was used for determining weights on the Neocaligus. For trapping, species were sorted to the lowest taxonomic level and aggregate counts and weights were recorded. Aggregate species weights estimated less than 0.01 kg were recorded as traces. Species weights recorded onboard the F/V Western Bounty were measured using a hand-held spring scale, and are considered estimates only.

Biological Information Biological sampling methods are described in Workman et at. (2000,2001) and Jadamec et We also followed methods ofDFO Stock Assessment Division at the Pacific Biological Station for sampling Dungeness crabs. Description of biological characteristics and field codes are in Appendix Table 1.

at. (1999).

, All crabs caught were sampled for biological information. Biological and morphometric characteristics recorded for all crabs included: species, sex, shell condition, injuries, missing limbs, carapace width (CW) inside of the spines, claw height and claw length only for the right claw of male Tanner crabs, abdominal width for female Tanner crabs, presence of ovigerous females, egg colour for egg-bearing females and individual weights for Tanner crabs sampled on the Neocaligus. Right claw measurements are only recorded for male Chionoecetes spp also, if the right claw was missing the left claw was not measured. Abdominal measurements are only recorded for female Chionoecetes spp.

Disease Biological field technicians were trained to recognize and record prevalence of bitter crab disease (BCD). BCD is caused by the infection of crab hosts by the parasitic dinoflagellate

,

\

7

Hematodinium sp. (Love et al. 1993, 1996). The parasite causes a fatal wasting disease, and affects the taste of infected crabs. Observation of symptoms of bitter crab disease includes pink joints, cloudy hemolymph in joints or chalky or opaque carapace (Love et at. 1996; Jadamec et al. 1999). During the Neocaligus survey, DFO biologists were supplied with a BCD kit containing 95% ethanol and Davidson's solution provided by the Shellfish Disease Program at the Pacific Biological Station. Crabs suspected of BCD infection were to be sampled for hemolymph, hepatopancreas and heart.

TAGGING AND RECOVERY Research Surveys Live, uninjured Tanner crabs captured during trap sampling were tagged using individually numbered, highly visible (blue) 1.6 cm Floy® T-bar tags (Model FD-94, Floy Tag & Mfg., Inc.). Dead, injured or moribund crabs were not tagged. Methods for tagging Tanner crab during this survey follow those described in McBride (1982) and Taylor (1982). T-bar tags were inserted in the right posterior suture line under the posterior margin of the carapace. The needle of the tagging gun (Model Mark III Regular Pistol Grip, Floy Tag & Mfg., Inc.) was inserted at an upward angle just above the 4 th walking segment and just below the carapace through the suture line. Crabs were tagged and released following biological sampling. Tagged crabs recovered in surveys were sampled for biological information, the tag numbered recorded, and released.

Other Fisheries A reward program was implemented to encourage fishers to return specific geographic information and fishing method from tagged crabs captured during fishing. The program targets local First Nations and recreational fishers. Reward posters (Figure 14) were placed at the Post Office at Dawson's Landing, at the Wuikinuxv band office, at DFO Fisheries Offices in Port Hardy and Bella Coola, and distributed to all the recreational fishing lodges throughout the Rivers Inlet area.

RESULTS

TRAP SURVEY Overview The WNFP deployed 417 Tanner traps on 84 groundline sets, 5 sets of Dungeness traps totaling 47 traps and 22 sets of single Tanner traps totaling 104 traps (Table 1). Groundline set number W 61 was not recovered. Three Dungeness traps were lost from set number W 501. Six groundline sets (W 79-85) were soaked for an extended period of time due to unforeseen

:,

8 circumstances. Groundlines were re-set (W 16, W 19, W 27-29 and W 31) on six locations and hauled after a 24 hours. Set W 9 was initially lost but was found after grappling. Thirty-nine of the 84 groundline sets captured Tanner crabs while 9 of 22 single Tanner trap sets captured Tanner crabs. None of the Dungeness trap sets captured Tanner crabs. Depths sampled ranged from 7-370 m. Tanner crabs were captured in depths from 36-340 m (Table 1). Three hundred and eighty-five Tanner crabs were tagged and released during the WNFP survey. Summaries of biological data for released Tanner crabs are arranged by tag number in ascending order (Table 10). Two crabs (crab # 43009 and # 43013) received two tags each due to a malfunction of the tagging gun. The Neocaligus survey deployed 232 traps on 22 groundlines. Eighteen of the 22 groundline sets captured Tanner crabs. Depths sampled ranged from 55-330 m. Tanner crabs were captured in depths ranging from 65-320 m (Table 2). Two hundred and ninety-eight Tanner crabs were tagged from the Neocaligus. Summaries of biological data for Tanner crabs are arranged by tag number in ascending order (Table 11). Eleven Tanner crabs were not tagged because they were dead or appeared moribund. Two tags (# 43411 and # 43413) were defective and not used. Tanner Crab Catch Rates Analyses of data on catch rates by trap type, depth and geographic location will be presented in a future report. Preliminary analyses of trap data from the Western Bounty and Neocaligus indicates the greatest abundance of Tanner crabs were found in Darby Channel, Draney Inlet, Moses Inlet and Upper Rivers Inlet (Table 7 and Table 8) at depths ranging 90-150 m. Abundance was sporadic in Hardy Inlet and Middle Rivers Inlet while there were no Tanner crabs captured in Fitz Hugh Sound and Lower Rivers Inlet (Table 7 and Table 8).

Other Species Dungeness crab was the most numerous species captured (n=831) during the Western Bounty trap survey, although most were found in the shallows and around estuaries. Next most abundant were Tanner crabs (n=384) and spot prawns (Pandalus platyceras, n=311) (Table 4). Other species of crabs captured during this survey include squat lobster (Munida quadrispina), brown box crab (Lopholithodesforaminatus), decorator crab (Oregonia gracilis), graceful crab (Cancer gracilis) and hermit crabs (Paguridae). The most numerous fish species captured were darkfin sculpins (Malacocottus zonurus) and quillback rockfish (Sebastes maliger) (Table 4). The most numerous species caught during the Neocaligus trap survey were Dungeness crabs (n=462), which were found primarily around estuaries and in the shallows (Table 5). Next most abundant species were Tanner crabs (n=311) and spot prawns (count not available, weight was 30.33 kg). Other species of crabs captured were squat lobster, brown box crabs, and redclaw

9 crab (Chorilia longipes). Diversity offish captured was low, including quillback rockfish, great sculpin (Myoxocephalus polyacanthocephalus), darkblotched rockfish (Sebastes crameri), darkfin sculpin and walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) (Table 5).

TRAWL SURVEY Overview A total of thirty-one tows were made from the Neocaligus; 30 were successfully completed. Tow location N 5 was repeated (as N 6) due to the net hanging up on the bottom. Tanner crabs were captured in thirteen of 31 tows. Depths sampled ranged from 77-337 m. Tanner crabs were caught in depths from 79-328 m (Table 3). Fourteen Tanner crabs were tagged and released during the Neocaligus Tanner crab trawl survey. Summaries of biological data for Tanner crabs are arranged by tag number in ascending order (Table 10). Twenty-six Tanner crabs were not tagged. Tanner crabs approximately 72 mm CW or less were not tagged, nor were dead or moribund crabs (Table 10).

Tanner Crab Catch Rates Tanner crab density estimates from trawling will be presented in a future report. Although we were able to capture adult and juvenile Tanner crabs by trawling, preliminary analysis of trawl data indicates that trawling may not be useful for estimating Tanner crab densities. Forty Tanner crabs were captured during trawling (Table 6).

Other Species Spotted ratfish (Hydrolagus colliei) was the species most commonly captured during the Neocaligus trawl survey. Ratfish accounted for 29% of the total catch weight, followed by Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) at 20% and walleye pollock at 14% (Table 6). Tanner crab accounted for 0.43% of the total catch weight. Other crab species captured during trawling included squat lobsters (0.69%), Dungeness crabs (0.26%), brown box crabs (0.12%), red claw crabs (0.01 %) and hermit crabs (0.01 %).

TAG RECOVERY Two tagged Tanner crabs were recovered during the Neocaligus surveys. Both recovered crabs were tagged during the Western Bounty survey. Tag numbers 43065 and 43378, from sets W 3 and W 73 respectively, were recovered and released from the Neocaligus during set N 18 and set N 7 respectively. No tagged Tanner crabs were captured by trawling. Biological data for

:,

10 the two tagged Tanner crabs were taken at the time of release (Table 11) and recapture (Table 12). During the Neocaligus survey two trap sets (N 1 and N 3) were repeated (N 22 and N21) with the objective of recovering tagged Tanner crabs. Twenty-one Tanner crabs were tagged from set N 1 and 17 Tanner crabs were tagged from set N 3 (Table 10). Approximately 6 days had elapsed but no tagged Tanner crabs were recovered. No Tanner crabs were captured from N 22 and N 21 captured 49 Tanner crabs, none of which had been previously tagged. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
