I guess they try to sell them around through excganges and through this forum as well.
It is important that they don't sell them all in the same place so that the price doesn't fall too low.

I think they just keep it till price increases, i am just assuming this as if i was a miner i would do the same 
That only works if Mom pays rent & electricity.
Yes, only home hobbyist miners who spend less than a few hundred dollars a month on the mining electricity and other costs will be able to adopt a mine and hold strategy for very long. Once you scale past a certain size, especially if you need to rent out a place coupled with higher electrical bills (thousands a month), you begin have too many monthly expenses to pay for to not sell at least enough BTC to cover those expenses. Unless of course you are really rich, at which point it may be better to just buy and sell and not worry about all the mining hassle to begin with.

Everybody seems to assume that the halving will cause the price of Bitcoin to rise. I assume that they believe that miners will sell fewer coins on the open market. If miners sell directly to investors, then the drop may not have an immediate impact on sales. Also, some coins may be retained for investment by the miners. So my question is - how many mined coins are sold on the open market?
its hard to answer,i dont knowbecause i'm not miner,and i dont have friends who mine bitcoins,i just guess that miners sell their coins to market,but with several period,they can control bitcoin price on that exchange if they sell so many bitcoins.

Many miners hold their bitcoins, not all of them sell their coins instantly.
Holding is a good strategy right now, I don't see that many people selling their bitcoins.

being a miner myself i know that i sell some at the exchanges and hold some in the hope of future gains. 
Do you convert to fiat only the amount required to cover the mining costs?
Or you cover part of mining costs with fiat (the equivalent of investing more at the mining operation)?

Of course miners will sell their coins to some exchange or sell it to someone, but they won't sell all of their Bitcoin at once. Instead, they will sell their bitcoin as much as they need.
Where does everyone else sell their coins? Exchanges, OTC, through localbitcoins etc... Miners sell their coins there too.
As for how many you'd have to ask the miners themselves, I guess... But I don't think any big operation will disclose their numbers to you (or anyone of us) in this forum

Miners can keep their BTC and even do not sell them, waiting for BTC price increase. How large is open market BTC volume - it is very hard to say - as BTC market is not regulated by anyone.
