  abstract = {{F}ronts, eddies, and upwelling shape larval fish habitats in the {C}anary {C}urrent {E}cosystem. {I}n the last five years, five sea-going expeditions have been undertaken to investigate the influence of these ocean processes on the life of fishes and their early life stages. {T}he use of different sampling techniques (e.g. midi/maxi multinet, {GULF} {VII}, and {CTD}) allowed us to understand horizontal and vertical larval fish distribution patterns. {F}rontal zones that function as natural barrier for plankton drift were identified enabling the formation of spatially segregated larval fish assemblages. {M}esoscale eddies compensated an offshore drift of water masses during the upwelling process retaining fish larvae at the shelf break. {A}n upwelling intensity driven spatio-temporal niche partitioning was observed between larval round sardinella ({S}ardinella aurita) and larval {E}uropean sardine ({S}ardina pilchardus). {W}hile climate models predict a change of the upwelling intensity in upwelling ecosystems, we suggest that dominance relationships of small pelagic fishes will fluctuate according to upwelling intensity variation. {T}he results of our studies improve the understanding of how fishes avail the dominant physical features in upwelling ecosystems and aid to comprehend population dynamics.},
