2011 Maryland Blue Crab Winter Dredge Survey
Staff quoted: Chesapeake Biological Laboratory
The winter dredge survey is the only bay-wide fishery independent effort to estimate the number of blue crabs living in the Chesapeake Bay. The winter dredge survey produces information that is essential for the management of the species, such as an estimate of the number of crabs over-wintering in the bay and the number of young crabs entering the population each year. Also calculated is the estimated number of females that could spawn within the year, which is an important indicator of future spawning potential. Estimating the total number of crabs living in the bay allows us to calculate the percentage of the crab population that is removed by harvest each year. If you are interested in harvest information for the Maryland Chesapeake Bay please go to mddnr.chesapeakebay.net/mdcomfish/crab/mdcomcrab.cfm. A pilot version of the winter dredge survey was first conducted in 1988 with the cooperation of the University of Maryland Chesapeake Biological Lab (CBL). In 1989 the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) joined the survey, and the two states continue to sample each winter from December through March.
