Average oil yield during the first fishing days did
not exceed 1.7% and remained just above 1% in the
subsequent days, something not unusual at time of a
“warm event”, actually better than what we have seen
in previous El-Niño event.
When compared with previous Nov./Jan.
seasons, this year is clearly under a “managed” fishing
mode with very progressive landings, completely
different from the years 2009, 2011 and 2013 (graph 3).
