Abstract
A simple approach is used to estimate the extent to which the amount of anchovy recruits of the year which would otherwise have been available to penguin colonies off the West Coast has been reduced by historic levels of fishing. Results suggest that over the past decade the extent of this reduction has been a median of 5-6% and at most some 25%.
