Sardine Migration Begins in South Africa – level 1

15-05-2017 07:00

This happens in South Africa on its east coast. Sardines start their migration. The migration happens from April to July. It happens in different places. The big group of fish is five to seven kilometres long.

Dolphins and other animals see this as a time to eat the sardines. Scientists see this as a time to study the sardines. They learn about the types of sardines in the migration. They find reproducing adults. They also find young fish.

Difficult words: sardine (a small fish that many sea animals eat), migration (when many animals travel at the same time), reproducing (able to make babies).
