New England fishery closed areas: a 9 year + case
|
|
study
in temperate waters (5 pseudo-replicates)
|
|
|
| • |
Previous work (2000) demonstrated
“reserve
|
|
effects” especially for sea scallop and other
benthics
|
|
|
| • |
Seasonal movements and depth
distributions of many
|
target
species means that cross-boundary excursions
|
|
are
frequent
|
|
|
| • |
Are the MPAs providing benefits to
conservation
|
|
of
groundfish resources, & the fishery, and what can
|
|
we
learn about movement & dispersion?
|
|
approaches:
|
|
|
• |
Differential densities
(in/out)
|
|
|
• |
Potential for “spillover”
