   Writing in the online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Scripps researchers Ryan Rykaczewski and David Checkley propose that atmospheric wind forces can determine the availability of microscopic organisms that sardine and anchovy feed upon.
   ...
   "That's the key," said Checkley a Scripps professor.
   ...
   "This research furthers the idea that fluctuations can be explained by natural phenomena as opposed to fishing exclusively," said Checkley."I think there's no question that both fishing and natural forcing are responsible for the historical fluctuations in fish not only off California, but off Peru, Japan, South Africa and Spain.It's important to realize that nature is a large player in this equation, if not the dominant one."
   
   Rykaczewski and Checkley say the new study could be important for fisheries management by paving the way for a new approach of predicting fish populations using climate change and wind factors.
