Reasons for fishing in the North Indian Ocean in summer

The reasons for fishing in the North Indian Ocean in summer are as follows:

1. The current direction in the North Indian Ocean changes with the seasons. In winter, ocean currents flow counterclockwise. In summer, ocean currents flow clockwise.

Winter is caused by the temperature difference between land and sea. In winter, the Asian continent is high and the Indian Ocean is low, and the northeast monsoon blows from the Asian continent to the Indian Ocean. Therefore, under the influence of the northeast monsoon, the seawater in the North Indian Ocean flows westward, and the ocean current flows counterclockwise.

3. In summer, due to the northward movement of the direct point of the sun, the pressure belt and the wind belt move southward. The southeast trade wind in the southern hemisphere crosses the equator and deflects into the southwest monsoon. The sea water flows eastward and the ocean current flows clockwise.
