Figure 6.7 Distribution and intensity of the trawl fishery in West Greenland waters, 1999–2013, based on logbook information. Boxes 1 and 2 indicate the traditional Greenland halibut fishing grounds in West Greenland, while box 3 shows the area of inshore Greenland halibut fishery. The remaining fishery in West Greenland is aimed at shrimp. The trawl intensity is graduated from low (yellow) to high (red), with the sailed distance (km/km2) being summed over all years. The thin lines show the 3–, 12–, and 200–nautical mile zones. (GIS analysis by Karl Brix Zinglersen, GINR. Analogous data were not available for the Nunavut side).
