Capture-based aquaculture of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) in Greenland – Sustainable distribution of superchilled, frozen and refreshed products
Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) has for centuries been an important species for the Greenlandic fisheries, and traditionally the value-added process has contributed to a large numbers of local jobs. In the period following the last major cod fisheries around 1990 in Greenlandic waters, the value-adde...
