Research Cruise to Skagerrak May 20. - 29.th 2019 with expedition yacht Capella C - in collaboration colleagues from the US, the UK, The Danish National Aquarium The Blue Planet, The Kattegat Aquarium and the Northsea Aquarium. Financially funded among by Elisabeth & Knud Petersens Foundation, The Danish Centre for Marine Research and not the least the Zimin Foundation. On the cruise we caught two Greenland sharks - one only 102 cm long (one of the the smallest we have caught !) as well as a lantern shark , Etmopterus spinax. So Greenland sharks can be caught relatively easy in Danish waters.
