Objective Environmental conditions are closely, linked to the year abundance fluctuations in fish populations. These physicochemical processes, concurrently with biological processes (predation. competition) act upon the recruitment and post-recruitment of small pelagics such as sardines and anchovies.This project will be carried out over a period of three years and fieldwork surveys will be undertaken for two years in order to:a) understand the major sub-processes within the recruitment and post-recruitment processes as well as physical and biologically-induced changes which affect them,b) ultimately predict the results of these changes on this anchovy stock, evaluate the effects of these changes on the anchovy fishery, propose management plans based on all the above.ObjectivesEnvironmental conditions are closely linked to the year to year abundance fluctuations in fish populations, which are high and more evident in small pelagic fishes with a short span such as the anchovies (Engraulis sp.).
