We reconstructed the fish community and oceanographic conditions of the most recent global warm period (last interglacial; 130 to 116 thousand years before present) by using sediments from the northern Humboldt Current system off the coast of Peru, a hotspot of small pelagic fish productivity. In contrast to the present-day anchovy-dominated state, the last interglacial was characterized by considerably smaller (mesopelagic and goby-like) fishes and very low anchovy abundance. These small fish species are more difficult to harvest and are less palatable than anchovies, indicating that our rapidly warming world poses a threat to the global fish supply. %G English %L hal-03529788 %U https://cnrs.hal.science/hal-03529788 %~ CEA %~ INSU %~ MNHN %~ X %~ ENS-PARIS %~ EPHE %~ CNRS %~ CNES %~ IFREMER %~ X-DEP %~ GIP-BE %~ LOCEAN %~ UVSQ %~ PSL %~ UNIV-PARIS-SACLAY %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ PROTEO %~ MARBEC %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ SORBONNE-UNIV %~ SU-SCIENCES %~ TEST-DEV %~ FR-636 %~ IP_PARIS %~ IP_PARIS_COPIE %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ UNIVERSITE-PARIS %~ UP-SCIENCES %~ ENS-PSL %~ EPHE-PSL %~ UVSQ-UPSACLAY %~ CEA-UPSACLAY %~ SU-TI %~ ALLIANCE-SU %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ UM-EPE %~ IPSL_LOCEAN
