Text: Fez is not a traditional Peruvian name. Fez's mother thought about naming him Manuel and then calling him Manolo as a nickname, but she finally decided to call him Fez.
Picture: Picture of Fez looking like he is happy to have Fez as a name and not Manuel.

Text: Most of the men who live on Fez's Island are fishermen. But Fez's father works for Burlington Coat Factory as their head of Latin American Sales. Burlington Coat Factory is not affiliated with Burlington Industries.
Picture: Picture of several fishermen and Fez's dad, who wears a suit and looks like a man who works as a salesman.

Text: Fez's Mom is very smart. Even though she only has the equivalent of a 7th grade education, she knows things like Celt is really pronounced like "Kelt". So when she watches basketball on Televiso Peruana, she always cheers "Go Boston Keltics", not "Celtics" like the other Peruvian mothers.

Text: Fez's Island is famous for two industries, fertilizer and fishing. Much of Peru's GDP is dependent on exports of these two products. When the Inti was devaluated and then pegged to the US Dollar, these two industries managed to help Peru overcome hyperinflation.

Text: Fez's Island is rich in fertilizer because of all the birds that nest on it. The birds are attracted to the island because the waters surrounding the island are wintering grounds for the Peruvian anchoveta.
Picture: Picture of many birds who may have just eaten several Peruvian anchovetas.

Text: The bird droppings are called guano. The guano is rich in nitrogen and used in fertilizer. People who live on Fez's Island often leave their windows closed, because guano has an unpleasant smell.
Picture: Picture of people with their windows closed. They do not have a happy look on their faces, but they don't look sad either.

Text: Anchovetas are called anchovies is the United States. Fez knows this because his father makes frequent trips to Burlington, Vermont, where the headquarters of his father's company is located. Fez's father often orders pizza for lunch, and some people put anchovies on it. He also like Oreos but not on pizza.
Picture: Picture of a pizza with anchovies on it.

Text: The anchovetas congregate off of Western Peru, in an area called the Milne Edwards Deep. They are concentrated there because of a phenomenon called the Peru Current. While it is not as concentrated a source of marine life as the krill concentrations off Antarctica, there are still a lot of anchovetas off of Peru.

Text: In 1970, Peruvian fishermen landed 10 million tons of anchovetas. This compares to only 2 million tons of sardines.

Text: Aside from fertilizer, the anchovetas are used to make fish meal.
Picture: Histogram showing annual fish meal production, by year for 1970-2000.

Text: Anchovetas belong to a family of fish called Clupeoids. Sardines, pilchards and herrings also belong to this group.
Picture: Picture of Fez holding representative varieties of Clupeoids. He obviously prefers the anchoveta, as he is shown looking at the anchoveta in his right hand, ignoring the sardines and pilchards in his left hand.

Text: The meteorological phenomenon called El Nino effects the anchoveta harvest. During strong El Nino years, there are not as many anchovetas. Many fishermen are unemployed during these years, and often sit idly on stree
