Fisheries committee  At all of these annual DFO science meetings we have a series of things to talk about, like the biomass. But they also talk about the temperature of the water, the trends of the tides, and things of that nature. There are a few exhibits that we've been shown over the years from the Bedford Institute of Oceanology that a lot of the crab that ends up in this neck of the woods--notwithstanding the fact that we generate a lot out of their own home base--comes down from the gulf.

Fisheries committee  I'll make just one point. You asked about the cycle of the biomass. Typically speaking, I don't think there's any absolutely definitive answer, but by and large cycles in the biomass of the snow crab here and in the gulf, and I think in Newfoundland as well, are ten years. So it will go to the bottom after whatever period of time, and it will go up, and in ten years it will come back to the ten-year bottom.
