The sea we fish in

Abstract

Most of us realize that different forms of country such as savannah, swamp, and forest, harbor different animals and that they move about or, perhaps, change their behaviour as their climate changes during the year. The same is true for fishes in the sea, Fishermen know that some sorts inhabit coral reefs, whereas others are typically found over sandy bottoms and yet others in open water. But so far as the sea is concerned, little is known of the seasonal changes in the underwater climate off East Africa and of the effects of these changes on the fishes.
