Biomass and Abundance of Demersal Fish Stocks in the Nuuk fjord and Ameralik fjord derived from The GINR Shrimp and fish inshore (SFI) survey. By Rasmus Nygaard and Henrik Christiansen. Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, Box 570, 3900 Nuuk, Greenland NYGAARD, R., & CHRISTIANSEN, H. 2026. Biomass and Abundance of Demersal Fish Stocks in the Nuuk fjord and Ameralik fjord derived from The GINR Shrimp and fish inshore (SFI) survey. NAFO Scientific Council Research Document, SCR Doc. 26/013: 1-25. Abstract In 2015, the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources initiated a trawl survey in the inshore area of NAFO subarea 1D. The fjords surround the capitol of Greenland, Nuuk and supports several fisheries including Cod and Greenland halibut. The survey is performed with the 458 GT and 32m long research vessels RV Sanna, equipped with a 1440 mesh bacalao trawl. The survey is based on a depth stratification of the fjords using fixed stations where bottom conditions allow bottom trawling. This paper includes biomass and abundance estimates for the Nuuk fjord and Ameralik fjord for Greenland halibut, shrimp, cod, American plaice, deep-sea redfish and Golden redfish.
