Eco‐evolutionary dynamics of Atlantic cod spatial behavior maintained after the implementation of a marine reserve [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2022 The effects of marine reserves on the life history and demography of the protected populations are well‐established, typically increasing population density and body size.

Selection on fish personality differs between a no‐take marine reserve and fished areas [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Marine reserves can protect fish populations by increasing abundance and body size, but less is known about the effect of protection on fish behaviour. We looked for individual consistency in movement behaviours of sea trout in the marine habitat using ...

Marine reserve benefits and recreational fishing yields: The winners and the losers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Marine reserves constitute effective tools for preserving fish stocks and associated human benefits. However, not all reserves perform equally, and predicting the response of marine communities to management actions in the long run is challenging.

The effect of protection on fish populations in the Ses Negres Marine Reserve (NW Mediterranean, Spain) [PDF]
Scientia Marina, 2007 This work is the result of a 3-year monitoring programme for assessing the effect that the Ses Negres marine reserve has had on fish populations. Species richness (based on fish species that are considered to be reserve effect indicators), and the size ...

Spillover effects of a community-managed marine reserve. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The value of no-take marine reserves as fisheries-management tools is controversial, particularly in high-poverty areas where human populations depend heavily on fish as a source of protein.

Accounting for tourism benefits in marine reserve design. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Marine reserve design often considers potential benefits to conservation and/or fisheries but typically ignores potential revenues generated through tourism.

Assessment of Habitat Suitability for Amphioxus in the Changli Marine Reserve and Adjacent Coastal Waters, Hebei Province [PDF]
AnimalsAmphioxus, a key model organism in vertebrate evolution, is essential for understanding ecological balance and species diversity. This study examined the spatiotemporal distribution of Branchiostoma japonicum and assessed its habitat suitability in the ...

Marine Dinoflagellate Assemblage in the Galápagos Marine Reserve [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 It is likely that harmful algal blooms have increased in frequency, intensity, and geographic distribution in the last decades in response to anthropogenic activities. The Galápagos Islands are renowned for their exceptional biological diversity; however,

Marine Reserve Design [Video] [PDF]
Media + Environment, 2021 Marine sanctuaries are an important part of ocean conservation today, but because of their local economic effects on industries such as fisheries, gas and oil extraction, and tourism, they produce conflicts of interest between different stakeholders and ...

Regional differences in fishing behavior determine whether a marine reserve network enhances fishery yield [PDF]
Scientific ReportsA network of marine reserves can enhance yield in depleted fisheries by protecting populations, particularly large, old spawners that supply larvae for interspersed fishing grounds.
