Which fish and shellfish are Greenland’s most important exports?

Greenland’s economy is heavily reliant on the fishing industry, which serves as the foundation for its primary exports. The most important fish and shellfish products exported from the island are:

• Halibut: This fish is a principal export for the region.1
• Shrimp: These crustaceans constitute a major portion of Greenland's export trade.12

While cod was historically a significant component of the industry, the current export economy is primarily driven by these specific marine resources.12
