The objective is to determine if there are measurable impacts caused by the introduction of fish farming, negative or positive, on the commercial species currently harvested in Connaigre Bay.
Conducting a multi year survey (snow crab and lobster) to compare scientific data (abundance and distribution) before, during, and after the establishments of the farm sites. There is a unique opportunity to study the environmental interaction and possible impacts in a bay that has never been used before in aquaculture.
