‘When I accidentally catch a shark, I bring it to my dogs,” Henrik Jensen, a 27-year-old from Greenland’s west coast, says casually(漫不经心地). “I don’t let it back down(把它放回去) because [the sharks] bully(欺负,欺凌) me and cut my lines.”
“当我意外捕到一条鲨鱼时,我会把它带回家喂狗,”来自格陵兰岛西海岸的27岁渔民亨里克·延森漫不经心地说。“我不会把它放回去,因为鲨鱼欺负我,还咬断我的渔线。”
Jensen has fished for halibut(大比目鱼) in Ilulissat, Greenland’s third largest town, for a decade. He works an hour north of the town’s main iceberg-laden(冰山密布的) fishery, which sustains the livelihood(维持生计) of nearly 400 fishers. There, the halibut are bigger and more plentiful, but so are the Greenland sharks.(那里的比目鱼更大、更多,但格陵兰鲨也更多。)
延森在格陵兰岛第三大镇伊卢利萨特捕钓大比目鱼已有十年。他在该镇主要渔场以北一小时船程处作业,那里冰山密布,养活了近400名渔民。那里的比目鱼更大、更多,但格陵兰鲨也更多。
“This year I’ve lost around 6,000 hook(鱼钩)s in total. Sometimes we lose 30,000 Danish krone(丹麦克朗,丹麦货币) [£3,440] a day,” says Jensen.
“今年我总共丢了大约6000个鱼钩。有时我们一天就损失3万丹麦克朗(约合3440英镑),”延森说。
