As part of the effort to document the catchability of crab and the impact groundfish is having on the crab resource, we are conducting underwater camera work. As a trial, we are looking for a vessel that is fishing crab in Bonavista Bay.
If you are fishing crab and would be willing to carry our at-sea technician and camera set-up, please send your name, phone number, and landing port to Ian Ivany at iivany@ffaw.ca or (709) 770-2583.
The compensation for this work is $750 per day, with additional compensation per camera deployed. The deadline to enter your name is Tuesday, May 27 at 5 PM. A draw list will be created Tuesday evening and priority will be given based on departure date.
