Indian oil sardine seemingly on revival path along Kerala coast: CMFRI ANI | Updated: Jan 02, 2021 23:26 IST
Kochi (Kerala) [India], January 2 (ANI): Indian oil sardine, which was showing a declining trend for the past few years, appears to be on a revival path along the Kerala coast, read a statement by the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Kochi on Saturday.
It said that scattered batches of immature sardines have been reported from the southern coast of the state because of a seemingly favourable condition in the marine ecosystem. For the last five years, there has been a sharp decline of oil sardine along the Kerala coast. El Nino Southern Oscillation causes a rise in sea-surface temperature and triggers changes in the ocean s vertical, thermal structure, particularly in coastal regions, and the warming of sea water has been a major reason for the decline in the sardine population, read the statement.
