Quebec's Department of Fisheries and Oceans program collects biological samples from commercial Atlantic surfclam catches in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence. The dataset contains metadata, sample weight, and shell width measurements for specimens, with coverage from 2003 to the present. Data is collected at wharves or at sea by specialized DFO staff to support stock assessments.
Data has been simplified (e.g., date of capture) and some information (e.g., concerning the vessel) excluded to protect confidentiality; fishing area coordinates require following external links.
