El Niño Jolts Peru's Fisheries: Anchoveta Catch Plunges 99% as Jumbo Squid Gains Ground Amid Expert Monitoring

Anchovies (Engraulis ringens) are being captured with a fishing net during a fishing task aboard an anchovy boat out to sea after 5 miles in the department of Lima on November 19, 2023. El Niño, the climatic phenomenon that periodically raises ocean temperatures, causing droughts and floods, is wreaking havoc in Peru, the world's leading producer of fish oil and fishmeal made from anchoveta, a variety of fish up to 20 centimeters long that lives in the moderately cold waters off the Peruvian and Chilean coasts.
