The oil sardine Sardinella longiceps constitutes
the most important pelagic resource sustaining the
marine fishery on the west coast of India. Two
decades ago, the occurrence of this species along
the east coast was considered sporadic and rare. In
early eighties, there was report on the unusual
landing of this species along Puducherry region. Over
the years, there has been an increase in the landings
of this species on the east coast especially along
the Coromandal coast. In July 2008, there were
reports in the local daily news papers that the oil
sardine shoals were found to move towards the shore
off Devanampattinam fishing village and small boys
were also able to have easy access to the fish shoal
who handpicked the sardines. Some fishes were also
stranded and found dead on the beach. This
occurrence is linked to upwelling phenomenon which
brings the oxygen depleted cold water from the
bottom of the sea due to churning by the water
current.
