Current Projects

The original intention when the FSRS began was to implement a project to collect catch and effort, oceanographic and spawning information for groundfish species.  The enthusiasm of members quickly took the FSRS well beyond the original data collection goal.  By the end of the first year, members were collecting information not only on groundfish, but also for pelagic fish species, lobster, and shrimp.  Since then, the FSRS has taken on a number of research projects, including:

FSRS Projects:

• Lobster Recruitment Index Project
• At-sea Lobster Sampling

Contracts:

• Canadian Wildlife Federation Fixed Gear Study
• Upper Bay of Fundy Lobster Monitoring Project
