Imagine an enourmous artic fish weighing up to 200kg. Imagine
then that it only live under extreme conditions 600-2000m below the
surface in the Ocean sourounding Greenland.
And then imagine, that we only now are discovering the great
possibilities with this artic animal .
That is the GREENLAND SHARK.
A FASCINATING SHARK which is the longest living vertebrate
living on the planet and is in size as a carnivorous
shark only surpassed by the Great White Shark. Still our
knowledge about the Greenland Shark is only now beginning to take
of.
But we keep getting wiser.
For us the Greenland shark is a shark with meaning and
significance.
For us, for Greenland and for our customers.
IN GREENLAND the shark is called Eqaiussauq and
has been known on the largest island in the World through the
history.
Today the Greenland Shark however causes some annoyment among
fishermens. This is due to the large population of the shark in the
artic ocean, which can disturb and even destroy catches of for
instance Halibuts.
THIS GAVE THE idea to the Greenland Company. For
us it isn't about capturing as many sharks as possible.
On the contrary.
We want to succeed in using the great qualities
of the Greenland Shark - and at the same time ensuring a
sustainable enviroment.

possibilities with the Greenland shark and below you can download a
