Fishery and utilisation of mesopelagic fishes and krill in the North Atlantic
The main objective in this project was to explore the possibilities of commercial exploitation and utilisation of mesopelagic fish and krill, two groups of species that presently are not utilised commercially. The work was divided into three subtasks, to find and collect historic data and literature...
