The situation on Sumatra is similarly grim, and it is perhaps even worse in the Maldives, Laccadives, Andamans, and Nikobar islands, where not only fishermen and boats were lost, but harbours were ruined. Along the coast of the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, some 30% of the fishery capacity was lost.
苏门答腊岛上的形势也一样严峻，也许甚至比马尔代夫、Laccadives岛、安达曼群岛、Nikobar群岛还要糟糕，那里不仅渔夫失踪，渔船被海浪打沉，连海港也被海浪所吞噬摧毁。印度沿海的Andhra Pradesh和Tamil Nadu 两省的渔捕能力损失高达30%。据报道，非洲的印度洋沿海国家，诸如莫桑比克、索马里、坦桑尼亚的渔业也损失惨重。
