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...

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 currents or water bodies converge. In the southeastern Pacific, the subtropical anticyclone positively forces ocean temperatures along the west coast of South America, decreasing pole ward from the subtropical latitudes due to the El Niño Southern Oscillation. Environmental data from remote sensing enabled us to study changes in the spatial position of the 18ºC isotherm in relation to spatial-temporal changes in swordfish nominal fishing yields (CPUE) of industrial longline fleet in the coast of Chile. Correlations were obtained between the latitudinal gravity center (LGC) of CPUE and the latitudinal position of the 18ºC isotherm, between the latitudinal position of the 18ºC isotherm and the area bounded by the 17ºC isotherm, as well as between El Niño 12 index and the latitudinal position of the 18ºC isotherm.
