El Niño Southern Oscillation and spatial-temporal variability of the nominal performances of swordfish (Xiphias gladius) in the southeastern Pacific

Swordfish (Xiphias gladius) is a highly migratory pelagic species, found in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions. In the Pacific Ocean, several studies have linked their wide latitudinal distribution (50ºN-50ºS) to environmental variables, since food is abundant along the frontal zones where...
