The anchovy (Engraulis ringens) industrial fishery is one the most important fisheries in Peru, both for ecologi- cal and socio-economic reasons. For that matter, it is necessary to have continuous information of the spatial distribution of this fish. Nowadays, this information is obtained by acoustic surveys made by the Peruvian Marine Research Institute (IMARPE). However, these surveys cannot be performed continuously throughout the years due to their high costs. For this reason, it is necessary to search for new alternatives of information in order to assess the spatial distribution of the anchovy in a continuous way. In this thesis, we studied the fishermen spatial behavior as a variable associated with the anchovy spatial ditribution, and analyzed if these two sources of information (acoustics and fishermen) have the same spatial characteristics. For each sources of information we generated random fields (i.e. spatially indexed ran- dom variables). Those random fields were called: (i) acoustic proxy and (ii) VMS proxy (fishermen). These fields were modeled and interpolated in the same area by geostatistic tools since they presented spatial autocorrelations. Then, both fields were compared using multiple indicators to quantify their differences. In this study, we could observe that the presence, distance to the coast, Gini and LIC indicators of VMS and acoustic proxies presented high correlations. We conclude that the VMS proxy can be used as a source of information of the spatial distribution of the anchovy, through the implementation of a methodology based on the described indicators that allow comparing random field patterns.
