Yield per recruit for males (-).(-----),Biomass per recruit for malesbe increased to at least 1 10 mm. A similar measure wastaken in the South African hake fishery in 1974(Wysokinski 1976). Environmental conditions like ElNifio may also act to preserve the stock. In 1982-83 thestock was apparently unavailable to the fishery, becauselandings did not exceed 33,000 MT.Exploitation RateBecause we find very different distribution andconcentration of fish stocks off Peru during so-callednormal and abnormal years of El Niiio, existing productionmodels are not so useful for estimating theequilibrium yield. Therefore, we have taken thecatches of "normal" years (1973-76 and 1979) fromTable 1 to calculate an average equilibrium yield of103,300 MT and a biomass of 454,000 MT. This givesus an equilibrium exploitation rate of "E" calculated asC/B of about 0.25 with 95% confidence limits between0.16
