Conceptual summary of regime shift effects on sardine and anchovy based on the analysis of the historical simulation. Schematic diagram illustrating a chain reaction from the wind regime shift after 1977 to anchovy and sardine dynamics. The weakened wind speed from autumn to early spring links to the low food density in the coastal area, which affects many of the anchovy larvae. Consequently, age-0 anchovy survival is reduced after the regime shift. On the other hand, most of the sardine larvae that were distributed in the offshore region from spring to summer were unaffected by the regime shift
