Which disruptive outcome occurs during El Niño events?

A)Upwelling nutrient decline on coastal fisheries
B)Intensified coastal upwelling and productivity
C)Strengthened trade winds and ocean currents

Declining fisheries occur during El Niño because the suppression of upwelling brings fewer nutrients vital fish population, due to reduced wind-driven currents from east to west; rather than increased productivity, therefore, the opposite situation arises.
