Sardine run

Annual fish migration off the shores of South Africa

The KwaZulu-Natal sardine run of southern Africa occurs from May through July when billions of sardines, or more specifically the Southern African pilchard, Sardinops sagax ocellatus, spawn in the cool waters of the Agulhas Bank and move northward along the east coast of South Africa. Their sheer numbers create a feeding frenzy along the coastline. The run, containing millions of individual sardines, occurs when a current of cold water heads north from the Agulhas Bank up to Mozambique where it then leaves the coastline and goes further east into the Indian Ocean.
