Julius Nielsen, research associate at Natural History Museum of Denmark shares his research of this fascinating shark.
The Greenland shark is an enigma from a human perspective. It thrives in the depths of the cold Arctic oceans and can live for several hundred years.
Julius Nielsen has studied Greenland sharks for about 15 years. During this time, he has focused on various aspects of their biology, including longevity, feeding ecology, migration behaviour, reproductive biology, and life history throughout the North Atlantic.
All of these topics are essential for understanding why Greenland sharks can be found as close as the Skagerrak, the strait between Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
Julius Nielsen is currently a Research Associate at the Natural History Museum of Denmark (University of Copenhagen) and has advised Christina Karliczek Skoglund in her work documenting the Greenland shark.
The presentation will be held in English
