Abstract

Fish vertebrae from a marine sediment record collected from Peru reveal an unexpected regime shift in fish community. During the last interglacial (125 000 years ago) the Humboldt Current was characterized by warm waters with low oxygen contents. These conditions were favorable for small fish species (e.g. gobies) and detrimental for anchovy that nowadays sustains the largest fishery in the world.
