Typically found at depths of 400-1500 metres, Greenland halibut rarely lives in water warmer than 4˚C.
Greenland halibut migrates over long distances, and feeds voraciously on smaller species such as shrimp and capelin. Female fish can live up to 20 years, while males rarely live longer than 12 years.
Greenland halibut is separated into three different North Atlantic stocks: Baffin Island/West Greenland, Iceland/East Greenland and the Barents Sea/Norwegian Sea. We catch it in FAO areas 27 and 21.
Greenland halibut is caught with a bottom otter trawl (OTB).
