Start year 2005 End year 2014 Funding (€) € 1,067,900 Website https://prosjektbanken.forskningsradet.no/en/project/FORISS/170690?Kilde=FORISS&distribution=Ar&chart=bar&calcType=funding&Sprak=no&sortBy=date&sortOrder=desc&resultCount=30&offset=0&Prosjektleder=Tor%20Wallin%20Andreassen Summary The project is a collaboration between researchers in Greenland and Norway in accordance with the bilateral agreement
between Norway and Greenland of 1991. The project will, through close cooperation, secure, analyze and publish collected data in Greenland in the period 1992-2004. Blue halibut is widespread along large parts
of south-eastern Greenland but a summary overview of the distribution from fjord to
continental slope is missing. Based on data collected from Tasilaq (approx. 66 degrees N) south to Cape Farewell in the period 19 94-2004, distribution and biology will be summarized with hydrographic data. Blue halibut is an opportunistic predatory fish that feeds on fish and other organisms that it finds at the bottom as well as in the water column. Through diet analyzes based on stomach data collected in East Greenland, one will map
food composition. The reproductive biology of blue halibut off Greenland has been studied recently year. The GYTE project which was carried out with intensive data collection and analyzes in 2003 and 2004 map the maturation process and main spawning period for blue halibut in Greenland with the main focus on the West Greenland. These results will be put in a larger context by summarizing several projects discontinued in the period 1997-2004. Furthermore, studies of egg production in Greenland and will be included
Isl and. Together with the Institute of Marine Research in Bergen, a methodology for collecting will be evaluated maturation data for use in management. Problems related to the net catch blue halibut in trawling are known. Such catch constitutes an unregistered bee mortality and this re thus presents obscure figures in catch reporting
and stock calculations. This is of concern since the population is considered non-biological
borders. Mapping of scope is important in relation to the calculation of actual extraction of fish stocks are important in addition to mapping fish caught in different parts of the trawl can form basis for measures with regard to requirements for trawl rigging.
