Fisheries and Oceans Canada's dataset contains biological measurements for Stimpson's surfclam (Mactromeris polynyma) from commercial catches. It includes metadata, sample weight, shell width, and specimen counts, covering sampling years from 1992, 1994-1998, and 2000-2021. The data supports stock assessments in the Estuary and northern Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Data has been anonymized to protect vessel confidentiality; exact capture dates are simplified and some entries are excluded. Requires joining with external 'Fishing areas' data for precise coordinates. Available in CSV, PDF, and HTML formats under the Open Government License - Canada.
