The purpose of the fishery was to collect biological information on the commer-cial fish species, in particular Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) in order to evaluate the potential for a commercial longline fishery. The highest Greenland halibut catch rates of 153-260 kg per 1000 hooks were obtained at depths between 800-1200 m at three fishing localities, 2-4 in NAFO Subarea lA and in water with temperatures above about 0.5 'C. Greenland halibut was caught in all investigated depth strata. The depth distribution of the catch rates in Subarea IA indicates that depths between 800-1000m may be best suited for a commercial fishery on Greenland halibut. Below 1000m, large numbers of Arctic skates were taken in some of the settings. The size distributions of Greenland halibut in the catches were in the size range of 35-100 cm total leng...

With the exception of selenium in the muscle tissue, the metal levels were significantly higher in the fjord fish than in fish caught off the coast. No local source is known to explain the difference in levels, and this indicates that the fjord efficiently accumulates atmospheric contaminants. The present results demonstrate the importance of sampling area when determining levels of metals in marine organisms far from point sources. The liver was increasingly used as a storage compartment for mercury and selenium with increasing exposure.
