Nuluak Fisheries, majority‑owned by the Nunatsiavut Group of Companies, represents a significant Inuit presence in the commercial fisheries sector, holding substantial interests in northern shrimp, Greenland halibut (turbot), crab, and other species. As a member of the Northern Coalition Corporation, Nuluak contributes to a unified northern voice advocating for equitable access to adjacent marine resources, sustainable fisheries development, and long‑term economic benefits for northern communities.
While NGC maintains ownership of its quotas, harvesting is carried out through strategic alliances with experienced operators, including its dedicated harvesting partner PiKalujak Fisheries. This partnership supports the full lifecycle of offshore fisheries operations – from quota stewardship and harvesting through processing relationships and market distribution – helping maintain Inuit representation in northern fisheries and positioning Nunatsiavut for continued growth in the offshore sector.
Nuluak also participates in the Northern Shrimp Research Foundation, a collaborative industry/science initiative that advances research on northern shrimp stocks, ecosystem conditions, and sustainable management practices. This involvement reflects Nuluak’s commitment to evidence‑based decision‑making and responsible resource stewardship.
Nuluak Fisheries’ operational focus includes:
- Northern Shrimp, Greenland Halibut (turbot), Snow Crab, and other commercial species
- Harvesting partnerships through PiKalujak Fisheries
- Membership in the Northern Coalition Corporation
- Participation in the Northern Shrimp Research Foundation
- Sustainable, science‑aligned resource management
- Offshore harvesting capacity supported by experienced operators
With a commitment to transparent governance, responsible harvesting, and maximizing Inuit employment and procurement, Nuluak Fisheries and PiKalujak work collaboratively to uphold high standards of safety, stewardship, and community benefit. Together, they help position Inuit interests for long-term participation and influence within the commercial fisheries sector.
