End of the second season.


The second part of the Greenland Halibut season was an intense two-week period with many whale sightings and the fishermen proved again to be a great asset in gathering data.

Tiu joined the fishermen of M/S Egilson to see the depredation for herself. As fate would have it, that particular boat caught a halibut with spermwhale toothmarks on it. Our research team will now reside to analyze the data, make trials with the underwater acoustic array and plan our future moves.
Thank You all!
