When the warm current returned late in 1971, however, it lingered on for more than a year. Result: the fish catch plummeted, and the Peruvian government banned most fishing last year to give the anchovies a chance to proliferate again. But when the fishermen were permitted to put out into the cold current again this spring, they came back to shore almost emptyhanded...
...Scientific American, he places much of the blame on human greed. U.N. and Peruvian experts had long recommended that the fishing industry take no more than 10 million tons of anchovies a year; that catch would not prevent the fish population from reproducing itself annually. But in 1970 the fishermen caught a record 12 million tons, and almost 11 million in 1971. As a result, Idyll believes, the anchovy stocks are so depleted that they may take years to return to their original size-if they ever...

Now the source of all this spectacular activity in the Pacific, 590 miles south of Tokyo, has come into view. With a series of deafening explosions, a newly born volcano has reared out of the sea, adding another small island to the Iwo Jima chain. After flying over the belching volcano last week, Japanese officials reported that the northern edge of the doughnut-shaped crater has risen some 160 ft. above sea level and the southern...
