The study investigates the impact of sound energy generated by acoustic/seismic arrays on snow crabs. The purpose of this study was to provide baseline information about the inherent characteristics of snow crabs which in turn can be compared with effects observed during or after handling and seismic exposure. In addition to conducting new scientific analyses, the research was undertaken with greater input and collaboration from a broad group of stakeholders
