In the case of El Niño warm water approaches the coasts of South America which results in blocking the upwelling of nutrient-rich deep water. This has serious impacts on the fish populations.

Upwelling Upwelling- nutrient-rich water from the deep of the ocean pushed to the surface.

In the La Niña case, the convective cycle over the western Pacific strengthens unusually, resulting in colder than normal winters in North America. Therefore, you get more robust cyclone season in South-East Asia and Eastern Australia.

normal The neutral part has been referred to humorously by some as "La Nada", which means "the nothing" in Spanish.
