Marine protected area improves yield without disadvantaging fishers
Potential fishery benefits of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are widely acknowledged, yet
seldom demonstrated, as fishery data series that straddle MPA establishment are seldom …

Evaluating the evidence for ecological effectiveness of South Africa's marine protected areas
We reviewed 140 papers to assess the ecological effectiveness of South Africa's marine
protected areas (MPAs). Evidence was assessed for coverage and representivity, protection …

Bait increases the precision in count data from remote underwater video for most subtidal reef fish in the warm-temperate Agulhas bioregion
ATF Bernard, A Götz - Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2012 - int-res.com
Baited remote underwater video (BRUV) has been identified in the literature as a powerful
long-term monitoring tool for subtidal rocky reef fish communities. To test this, a repeated …

Optimal BRUVs (baited remote underwater video system) survey design for reef fish monitoring in the Stilbaai Marine Protected Area
Marine protected areas (MPAs) play an important role in coastal conservation, but there is
presently no uniformly applied methodology for monitoring the efficacy of coastal fish …

Different drivers, common mechanism; the distribution of a reef fish is restricted by local-scale oxygen and temperature constraints on aerobic metabolism
The distributions of ectothermic marine organisms are limited to temperature ranges and
oxygen conditions that support aerobic respiration, quantified within the metabolic index (ϕ) …

“The elephant in the room”: exploring natural mortality uncertainty in statistical catch at age models
The natural mortality rate (M) of a fish stock is typically highly influential on the outcome of
age-structured stock assessment models, but at the same time extremely difficult to estimate …
