उत्तर
One effect of the Oyashio Current of the Pacific Ocean is that it brings cold, nutrient-rich waters from the Arctic to the northeastern coast of Japan. This results in rich fishing grounds, supporting a thriving fishing industry. However, it also lowers the coastal temperatures, contributing to foggy weather conditions when it meets the warm Kuroshio Current.
