More recently, sardines iwashi ranked second in the catches of our fishing fleet in the Far East. It catches in recent years, reaching 600 thousand tons. This fish is common in the vast area - from the coast of the island of Taiwan to the northern part of the Tatar Strait and the coast of eastern Kamchatka.
Often (and completely wrong) sardine iwashi called herring. Ivasi, although part of the vast family of herring fish is only the nearest relative of this Pacific herring, and belongs to a different genus - sardinops. It is medium-sized, not to exceed 25 cm in length, fish. The whole look iwashi says that this is a good swimmer, all the time conducting in motion. After spawning, which takes place in December - May, along the Japan Sea and the Pacific coast of Japan adults they flock to the north. The speed of movement of shoals of 20-30 km per day. Off the coast of Primorye iwashi fattened planktonic crustaceans. Return migration to the south begins in the fall, with a decrease in water temperature up to 8 ° C.

This form is subject to drastic changes in the number of: before the war caught him in large numbers, and in 1941 for a long time, he stopped coming to the shores of Primorye. Currently, the number of true sardine declined sharply and again for a long time disappeared from store shelves this popular tasty fish.
Ie it cyclically as locusts appear in our waters, then disappears. Back in the early 80's we catch this joy in the Amur Bay, just not on a bare hook.
