Description Small pelagic fishes categorized as Herrings, Anchovies and Sardine
(HAS) in FAO fisheries statistics have contributed to world fish
landings considerably; ranging from 42.7% of the world marine fish
production in 1964 and to a low of 19% in 2014. An analysis of
commercially important sardine fishery across the globe during last
six decades from 1956 to 2015 was attempted which indicated that
there is considerable variation in the magnitude of production
between countries and species. Comparison of variation in fishery of
four species of Sardinops, one species of Sardina and seven species
of Sardinella clearly indicated that the landing of oil sardine
(Sardinella longiceps) from the Indian sub-continent is considerably
higher than that of most major sardine species across the globe.
During the last decade (2006 to 2015), the average landing of oil
sardine was 0.50 x 106
tonnes and was ranked second among
sardine group, first being Sardina pilchardus (1.11 x 106
tonnes). In
the present manuscript, the spatial pattern of the contribution of
each country to world sardine production (long term and decadal
average) and its deviation have been plotted on a GIS platform. The
extensive investigations spanning over 60 years on the large scale
fluctuations on sardine -anchovy fisheries in the Pacific and Atlantic
has identified impacts of regime shifts and other environmental
variations, eco-biological changes, overfishing or a combination of
all these on the decline and revival of sardine biomasses. Similar
detailed investigations covering larval ecology and sardine habitat
variations are yet to be attempted for the tropical Asian sardine
resources. Considering the global significance of oil sardine
population along the coastal upwelling zone of south-eastern
Arabian Sea, it is suggested that collaborative integrated research on
small pelagics of Southeast Asia be planned and developed to
increase the efficiency of predictive modelling. The various
management measures adopted globally for sardines is also
presented which would support decision making for planners to
support the livelihood of fishers when sardine stocks decline
drastically.
