Question

Which currents have created one of the world's richest fishing grounds?

Options

• Labrador current and Gulf stream

• Labrador current and Irminger current

• Oyashio current and Kuroshio current

• Both (a) and (c)

Answer 1

Both (a) and (c)

Explanation:

Some of the world's richest fishing grounds are formed where warm and cold ocean currents meet, as this mixing brings nutrient-rich waters to the surface, supporting abundant marine life.

• (a) Labrador Current and Gulf Stream: These two meet off the coast of Newfoundland, creating the Grand Banks, one of the most productive fishing areas in the world.

• (c) Oyashio Current and Kuroshio Current: These meet near Japan, forming another rich fishing region due to the convergence of cold nutrient-rich waters (Oyashio) and warm waters (Kuroshio).
