Our country desperately needs industrialization. All fish markets should have their own localized refrigeration and quality control.

small markets like these have such a charm to them though. I immediately trust that adeer smoking that he’d be providing the best fish.

This graphic shows how displaced surface waters are replaced by cold, nutrient-rich water that “wells up” from below. Conditions are optimal for upwelling along the coast when winds blow along the shore.

This information follows from a video discussing why the Somali coastline is the most productive.

Upwelling is a process in which deep, cold water rises toward the surface.

Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomenon that involves wind-driven motion of dense, cooler, and usually nutrient-rich water towards the ocean surface, replacing the warmer, usually nutrient-depleted surface water. The increased availability in upwelling regions results in high levels of primary productivity and thus fishery production. Approximately 80% of the total global marine fish catches come from five upwellings that occupy only 5% of the total ocean area


Upwelling occurs in five major zones on earth, which occupy a mere five percent of the total ocean area , These are, the Somali Current, the Benguela Current (offshore western southern Africa), the Canary Current (offshore Northwest Africa), the California Current (offshore California and Oregon) and the Humboldt Current (offshore Peru and Chile).

Areas where upwelling occurs is usually abundant with marine life and and account for 80% of the total fisheries catch in the world, The Somali Current is recognized as one of the most productive areas in the global oceans.

Berbera - Northwestern Somali Sea - The Somali upwelling generates some of the world’s most fertile ecosystems.

The abundance in fisheries in the Somali sea is a result of the coastal upwelling of cold nutrient-rich subsurface oceanic waters, The upwelling results in the enrichment of phytoplankton and zooplankton, which, in turn, make the conditions favorable for some small pelagic fish such as sardines, herring, and scad, The Somali upwelling is recognized as one of the most productive areas in the global oceans.

Central Somali Sea.

Compared to most regions of the world ocean, Somalia coastal areas is one of the least impacted by human activities.
