Fish populations of the Humboldt Current System exhibit contractions or expansions in their distribution in response to the intensity of the coastal upwelling and oxygen deficiency at different time scales. However, the future impact of global warming on fish populations is uncertain. The objective of the present research is to reconstruct the responses in abundance and spatial distribution of the current main fishery resources (anchovy, hake and others) off Peru to oceanographic changes (temperature, deoxygenation and productivity) during Termination 1 (T1, 17.5-11.5 Kyrs BP). Fish remains were analyzed in laminated sediments extracted off Callao (M772-005-3;12.09°S,79.52°W). The palaeoceanographic record obtained off Callao were first compared with proxies of productivity, oxygenation and sea surface temperature and then with similar records obtained off Pisco (14.29°S,76.76°W) and Chimbote (09.30°S,79.52°W). The results showed that anchovy vertebrae and bones fluxes were correlated with the depth where the core was retrieved. This suggests that sea level increase is the main factor that controls abundance of fish off Peru during T1. The fish productivity was lower off Callao than off Chimbote or Pisco during T1. Hake fluxes exhibited a latitudinal gradient during T1, with greater fluxes off Chimbote and lower fluxes off Pisco. On the other hand, the abundance of oceanic fish (sardines, horse mackerel and mackerel) was greater off Callao than Chimbote y Pisco during the last part of T1. However, oceanic fishes did not show a significant relationship with oxygenation, as it would be expected based on observations from the last decades.
