  abstract = {{T}he {C}anary {C}urrent upwelling ecosystem ({C}an{C}) constitutes one of the four main eastern boundary upwelling ecosystems ({EBUE}s) of the world, thus hosting high productivity and fisheries. {R}ecent observations indicate that the {C}an{C} region as a whole has been experiencing a progressive warming and a decrease in productivity over the last decades. {T}his overall trend is however not directly reflected in the fisheries of the region. {H}ere we update recent results and previous reviews on the {C}an{C}, covering aspects from the physical environment to fish populations and fisheries on a range of time scales. {W}e approach these topics, when possible, through a comparative exploration of the biogeographical characteristics of different sub-regions comprising this ecosystem. {T}his review shows that variability in coastline configuration, shelf width, coastal upwelling, nutrient fertilization, productivity, or retentive vs. dispersive physical mechanisms, among other factors, may help explain sub-regional differences in fish distributions and abundances in the {C}an{C}. {N}evertheless, the lack of systematic information on the regional variability of physical and biological processes hampers an integrated understanding of the relative contribution of natural vs. human-induced variability in the populations of at least small-pelagic fishes and their associated fisheries.},
