New Model Links Ocean Conditions to Squid Biomass

Abstract

Commercial landings of California market squid (Loligo opalescens) vary highly with oceanic conditions. An extreme example is seen with what happened during the 1996–97 La Niña and 1997–98 El Niño. In 1996–99, a record 110,000 tons were landed; the next year, during El Niño, landings plummeted to less than 1,000 tons.
