PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS
OF PROTECTION ON ROCKY FISH ASSEMBLAGES
IN THE WESTERN COAST OF ASINARA ISLAND / Pais, A.; Manunza, Bruno Mario Luigi; Saba, S.; Melone, G.; Sechi, Nicola. - In: BIOLOGIA MARINA MEDITERRANEA. - ISSN 1123-4245. - 16:1(2009), pp. 350-351.
abstract:
Coastal fish fauna from a recently established Mediterranean MPA and from an adjacent
non-protected zone near its boundary were compared to evaluate the effects of protection. A remarkable
“reserve effect” was detected for the whole assemblage in terms of both species richness and abundance.
Moreover, a moderate spillover effect outside the MPA was observed for several target species.
