Meanwhile, in Southern California, recreational and commercial fishers have reported some of the most successful months of tuna fishing they\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The divergent situations show how El Ni\u00f1o can create <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/en.ird.fr\/assessing-el-ninos-impact-fisheries-and-aquaculture-around-world\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/en.ird.fr\/assessing-el-ninos-impact-fisheries-and-aquaculture-around-world&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/en.ird.fr\/assessing-el-ninos-impact-fisheries-and-aquaculture-around-world\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">winners and losers<\/a> across the fishing industry, decimating some species while making others easier to catch. For fishers, the result is instability, with many forced to consider seasonal diversification. And consumers can expect fluctuations in the price of key fish products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cPeople are worried,\u201d said Juan Carlos Sueiro, an economist and fisheries director for the nonprofit Oceana Peru.

It was named by Peruvian fishers who, hundreds of years ago, noticed periodic fluctuations in their catches, with huge declines occurring every few years around Christmas. They called it El Ni\u00f1o, after the baby Jesus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The reason it has such disparate impacts on different fisheries has to do with the way it moves around ocean water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Under normal conditions, trade winds blowing west along the equator move warm water from South America toward Asia. This causes cold, nutrient-dense water to rise up from the depths, a process known as \u201cupwelling\u201d that encourages the growth of tiny algae near the ocean\u2019s surface. During an El Ni\u00f1o, however, weakening trade winds slow or even stop this upwelling. Less algae at the surface means species that depend on it, like anchovies, are forced to search for grub in deeper waters. Not only does this make the fish harder to catch, it can also <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/scied.ucar.edu\/learning-zone\/how-climate-works\/el-nino-fish-tale\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/scied.ucar.edu\/learning-zone\/how-climate-works\/el-nino-fish-tale&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/scied.ucar.edu\/learning-zone\/how-climate-works\/el-nino-fish-tale\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">stress and shrink their populations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">At the same time, those ocean dynamics can boost other fisheries. El Ni\u00f1o often sees warm-water species like the <a href=\"https:\/\/oceanservice.noaa.gov\/facts\/ninonina.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">skipjack tuna<\/a> straying toward coastal waters of the Americas, where temperatures would normally be too frigid for them. Nearer to the shore, these species become easier to catch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Both of these dynamics affect Peru, where El Ni\u00f1os of the past have both wiped out the country\u2019s <em>anchoveta<\/em> fishery\u2014the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/a-super-el-nino-has-the-power-to-devastate-fishing-and-leave-seals-and-sea-lions-starving-285108\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/theconversation.com\/a-super-el-nino-has-the-power-to-devastate-fishing-and-leave-seals-and-sea-lions-starving-285108&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/a-super-el-nino-has-the-power-to-devastate-fishing-and-leave-seals-and-sea-lions-starving-285108\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">largest single-species fishery in the world<\/a>\u2014and increased the availability of shrimp, scallops, dolphinfish, and tuna.

Humberto Speziani, a Peruvian industrial fishing adviser and former director of the International Marine Ingredients Organization, said vessels equipped with sonar technology have been locating anchovies more than 100 meters below the sea surface.
