PERU fishing with guts to report…
Although false gurus and seers, they did not wait to make your business lobbyist "predicting" the magnitude of the event El Niño and its impact on the fishing industry would be like what happened in the last century; however, the results show otherwise.
We can not deny that temperature changes in our Sea, which occurred between April and June 2014, ended up being well capitalized by those negotiators and brokers fishmeal, because, seeing no raw material (
On the other hand, the temperatures of 3 ° to 5 ° C, observed above normal at sub-surface level in the area near New Zealand, across the Pacific, which could increase, plus Australia winds from blowing very strong, contrary to normal, originated such warm temperature anomalies advance to the Peruvian coast through the Kelvin waves, which made think that El Niño event could be similar to 1997-98.
Kelvin wave .. Hake
The sudden advance of Kelvin waves in the Peruvian Sea, produced a very strong alteration in the distribution of demersal (Hake, Anguilla and others), as well as the matching pelagic species (anchovy, mackerel, mackerel, etc) with
Also, these waves have favored the concentration of Hake, Anguilla and other demersal species, which is reflected by the presence of a good percentage of hake large and wide distribution of these species.
It indicate that Imarpe estimated biomass of hake catch 400 000 tonnes, almost twice the estimated in 2013 and almost 4 times, the detected in 2011. In addition, median Hake was observed even in Callao, when in previous years only watched until Pimentel.
Kelvin wave .. The Anchovies
Now with respect to the Anchovy.
Moreover, in June 2014, the atmosphere reacted SE trade winds that usually blow from Peru intensified and produced maretazos, causing damage and rapid cooling at Sea, returning values of temperature offshore to
What happens now .... and what next?
The specialist ensures that we are in the final phase of El Niño and then come fast cooling. However, the behavior of the atmosphere was very different from other events El Niño and concerned that the mass of warmer than normal sub-surface water continues offshore, which could mean new future failures.
This implies that the presence and distribution of demersal resources or background continue to be good, like the pelagic resources such as Anchovy, provided that there is adequate and timely management especially in the Peruvian fishery.
