In the most recent years signs of recovery in the offshore cod stock are evident in West Greenland waters and concerns have been raised on the effects of cod predation on the Northern shrimp stock. Since the Atlantic cod stock in the West Greenland offshore waters decreased in the late 1960s and collapsed in the beginning of the 1990s the main commercial fishing effort has been put towards the shrimp fishery. To expose the potential importance of cod predation of Northern shrimp in Greenland offshore waters 686 cod stomachs were in 2005 analysed to determine prey choice in relation to cod distribution.
