El Niño is a weather phenomena which tends to occur in tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean. It affects the region across the Pacific from New Guinea to South America. During an El Niño season, which occurs on average every 2-7 years, a shift in ocean currents and winds brings warm water in a westerly direction, displacing the usual cold water that comes up from the ocean depths. As well as affecting marine life, the El Niño has an effect on weather patterns. Under normal conditions, in the tropics warm oceans tend to be accompanied by heavy rains, resulting in heavy rains in the warm west Pacific while the cooler east Pacific receives far less rainfall. This is reversed during an El Niño, when the ocean temperature gradient from one side of the Pacific to the other weakens. Warmer than usual ocean temperatures cause droughts in the west, while the unusually warm eastern waters bring heavy rains and floods to the Pacific coast of South America, which is usually much drier. It's all a matter of interactions between the oceans and the atmosphere. Changes in sea surface temperatures causes a shift in air pressure which, in turn, can result in climatic anomalies, such as severe droughts, flooding and even cyclones. One of the effects is that the normal circulation patterns over the Pacific are disrupted, and moisture-bearing trade winds weaken, whilst drier westerlies increase.
El nino is the warm ocean current. It affects the ocean ecosystem by changing the climate of those regions through which it passes. Change in its direction causes heavy rains at some places and drought at other places.

El Nino
El Nino waters are less dense because the waters are warmer and warm water is less dense than cool water. Also, it constantly rains over the ocean during the El Nino, and rain water is less dense than ocean water.
Not directly. El Niño has been linked to increased tornado activity in some areas, but tornadoes will occur every year, regardless of whether there is an El Niño. Some of the most active tornadoes years in the U.S. (such as 1974 and 2011) have been linked with La Niña.

La Nina brings drought to the continent. El Nino on the other hand brings floods, rain, rising rivers and misery.

The opposite may be like a drought or similar a summer monsoon that causes rain and a winter monsoon which causes drought so there are some differences and similarity's
El Nino can be the cause of fish and other marine life leaving their home due to the lack of water in the affected area. El Nino also causes dramatic temperature fluctuations in the water.
The occurrance of an El Nino event causes flash flooding and storms in areas such as Sout America, however in Australia, it is known to be the cause of droughts and dry seasons.
