Teams of fisherman gathered together for the catch of the day as thousands of sardines migrated from the Indian Ocean to the African coast earlier this year. Photographer Ahmed Mohamed Al Toqi captured the series of breathtaking images in Dhofar during the sardine migration in February, after spending many early mornings with the fishermen. Once the sardines are spotted and located by fishermen, an encircling net called 'Thagiya' is thrown into the water by the captain boat and the other end of the net is given to the assistant boat. The two ends of the nets are given to the teams on the beach who haul the net using their hands and use the help of a truck to hold the sardines. (Photo/VCG)
