Problems?[edit]

Reading this article gave me several starts:

"fish that dominate the Greenlandic fishing industry are mainly shrimps, [...] " - Shrimp are not fish, but arthropods, at least biologically.
"Although the industry grew dramatically in the 1990s, in 2000 it suffered due to depletion of stocks which resulted in a falling in prices" - typically, as supply dwindles, prices increase. Revenue may have dwindled.
"Its six fishing trawlers operate to catch mostly shrimp and unpeeled, cooked or raw frozen prawns." - while I believe the unpeeled, I have my doubt about cooked and frozen prawn being caught...

As a minor aside, it is usual to refer to shrimp as fish in the context of the fishing industry, e.g. see here. --Epipelagic (talk) 13:06, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed so, but still find it startling and would avoid this ambiguity where possible. Thanks for the fixes! --Stephan Schulz (talk) 13:31, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
