#10  Sardines hit hard by overfishing,More info:sciencemag

It may seem like sardines are, well, packed like sardines in the ocean—the tiny fish travel in schools of millions. But they and other small forage fish like herring and anchovies aren’t immune to the effects of commercial fishing. A new study looks at seven species over 25 years and finds that overfishing exacerbates natural boom-and-bust cycles of the fish, which are not only a food source for humans but for countless larger marine animals.

The study “is a thought-provoking piece of work” says Jason Link, a fisheries scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. And it strengthens the case that forage fish deserve more protection, he adds.

The Pacific sardine is a wide-ranging species that lives throughout the Indian and Pacific oceans. It has been divided into several subspecies and is an important fishery species wherever it lives. Subspecies include the Californian sardine, Chilean sardine, Australian pilchard, Japanese pilchard, and South African pilchard. It lives in the productive waters of upwelling zones, where deep nutrient-rich seawater is brought to the surface by the prevalent currents. Pacific sardines feed in these zones and form huge schools that are heavily exploited by commercial fisheries.

Most people have heard of sardines, and the general opinion of them is that they’re gross. Oddly, it’s also generally true that most people have never tried, or in some cases, encounter them. If you’ve never faced sardines, you may be surprised that they find their way into places you’ve never imagined. As an amazing source of B12 and Omega Fatty Acids, turning your nose up at sardines could be preventing you from enjoying a delicious addition to your meal. Sardine Day is your opportunity to learn about these little fish and how you may already have been enjoying them without knowing.

The ocean’s ecosystem remains largely a mystery and continues to baffle scientists with its little understood marine life like jellyfish with neon flickering lights and algae blooms changing the colors of the sea like a biblical plot. Today, the Sardine Run is one of the ocean’s phenomena that researchers are still struggling to understand. Located along the coast of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, the ocean’s largest bio-mass migration occurs every few years involving fish and their predators. The amount of fish in the Sardine Run is so numerous (running up to billions) that just from the surface, you can spot them like pebbles in a shallow creek.
