The fish:
The Greenland halibut is an Arctic species adapted to cold-water environments. It inhabits depths ranging from 200 to 2,000 meters, though it is seldom observed at depths shallower than 400 meters. Greenland halibut inhabits both demersal and pelagic zones. In Norwegian waters, the primary spawning grounds are situated on the upper continental shelf between Vesterålen and Bjørnøya (Bear Island). Fishing for Greenland halibut takes place in the Eggakanten north of Prins Karls Forland. The most common fishing gear is bottom trawl, line and net.
