Data collected on lobsters in preseason fisheries. This fishery is carried out by Merinov as part of the project Deployment of a multiparametric decision support tool for the opening date of the lobster fishery for Lobster Fishing Area 22 (LFA22) of the Rassemblement des pêcheurs et pêcheuses des côtes des îles (RPPCI). This project is funded by the Quebec Fisheries Fund (MAPAQ and DFO), over 2 years. The fisheries are carried out on the two facades of the Islands, the North (Étang-du-Nord) and the South (Pearl Reef). For the year 2020, the fishing effort consists of 48 wooden cages submerged for 24 hours; the same boat is used for the pre-season, the Mytilus.
