Abstract

The oceanographic characteristics (temperature, salinity, phosphates, and silicates), zooplankton volume, and abundance of the anchovy were studied until 5 miles far from the coast in the south of Peru (between Atico and the south frontier), from February 27th to March 3th of 1998. The oceanographic conditions showed both the presence of subtropical superficial water until 70 depth and evidence of rich nutrient upwelling to major deepness. The anchovy population was scarcity spread out and forming little cores near the coast, and the juveniles constituted 72% of the population.
