An experimental fishing was carried out with three bottom trawlers commercial Spanish vessels from July to Decemberof the year 2004 in the Subarea 1. The main objective of the experimental fishing was to search for cephalopods speciesconcentrations inside the territorial waters of Greenland. During the experimental fishing a scientific observer stayed onboard each vessel to collect effort data, catches and yields by haul and Division. The observers carried out lengthdistribution samplings of the following species: Reinhardtius hippoglossoides, Pandalus borealis, Gadus morhua,Sebastes spp., Hippoglossoides platessoides and Macrourus berglax. Biological samplings of R. hippoglossoides, P.borealis, H. platessoides, G. morhua and M. berglax were also carried out. Otoliths of Greenland halibut (1 356) andAtlantic cod (739) were collected for age determination. Greenland halibut was the main species caught and thecephalopods, target species, have not been found in the experimental fishing.
