Upwellings cause phytoplankton and other fish-eaten prey to be able to grow more toward the surface, due to this, more fish are able to prosper closer to the surface and in turn, allow fisherman to fish more as well.

Upwelling and downwelling?
Upwelling is caused by currents on the surface. When water moves from the bottom of the ocean towards the surface it is called upwelling. Downwelling is when more dense water sinks. This process moves nutrients back to the deep part of the ocean.
