Local and global environmental drivers of growth chronologies in a demersal fish in the south-eastern Pacific Ocean

Upwelling and the El Niño “Southern Oscillation” (ENSO) are recurrent climatic phenomena in the southeastern Pacific Ocean that severely affect the reproduction and growth of pelagic fish populations. However, there are not long-term growth data from demersal fish populations to test these intercone...
