Conservation and fisheries effects of spawning aggregation marine protected areas: What we know, where we should go, and what we need to get there (2014, background): “Rather, FSA MPAs are likely to reduce fisheries catches and profitability, both in the short and long term (Sale et al., 2005; Sadovy de Mitcheson and Erisman, 2012).”
Density-dependent spillover from a marine reserve: long-term evidence (2005, background): “Spillover is often assumed to be driven by density-dependent October 2005 1799DENSITY-DEPENDENT SPILLOVER effects (Roberts and Polunin 1991, Sanchez Lizaso et al. 2000).”
Limited movement in blue rockfish Sebastes mystinus: internal structure of home range (2006, background): “The creation of new marine reserves to protect fished species has been proposed in numerous locations worldwide (Sale et al. 2005), but the home range and spatial utilization patterns of most fished species remains unknown, especially in temperate regions (Lowe et al. 2003).”
Passive acoustic telemetry reveals highly variable home range and movement patterns among unicornfish within a marine reserve (2011, methodology): “with targeted species in mind (Sale et al. 2005).”
Larval retention and connectivity among populations of corals and reef fishes: history, advances and challenges (2009, background): “Most researchers accept that a full understanding of how coral reef metapopulations work cannot progress until the full extent of larval connectivity is known (Warner and Cowen 2002; Kritzer and Sale 2004, 2006; Sale et al. 2005).”
Nursery function of tropical back-reef systems (2006, background): “Direct study of fish movements among habitat types can elucidate the mechanisms through which different habitat types are linked (Sale et al. 2005).”
Trophic and benthic responses to no-take marine reserve protection in the Philippines. (2009, background): “Moreover, reserves are expected to benefit areas beyond their boundaries by becoming net exporters of adults and juveniles of target species (Russ 2002, Gell & Roberts 2003, Sale et al. 2005).”
Effects of fishing protection on the genetic structure of fish populations (2006, background): “Therefore, although some proposed benefits have been demonstrated, others require verification or further testing (Bohnsack, 1998; Sale et al., 2005 ).”
Fishing groupers towards extinction: a global assessment of threats and extinction risks in a billion dollar fishery (2013, background): “Moreover, while MPAs in theory offer certain fishery-related benefits beyond MPA boundaries, these are not well or extensively demonstrated at the present time, and most MPAs are small relative to the typical lifetime movements of many larger reef fishes (e.g. Halpern 2003; Sale et al. 2005; Little ”
The status of coral reef ecology research in the Red Sea (2013, background): “Connectivity is now recognized as an important parameter informing conservation and management decisions (e.g. Sale et al. 2005; Almany et al. 2009; McCook et al. 2009).”
A numerical study of stochastic larval settlement in the California Current system (2008, background): “Present knowledge of larval dispersal is still inadequate (e.g., Warner and Cowen, 2002; Largier, 2003; Kinlan and Gaines, 2003; Siegel et al., 2003; Sale et al., 2005).”
Connectivity, regime shifts and the resilience of coral reefs (2009, background): “Our approach is a departure from the contemporary focus on the export of fish larvae from no-take areas, i.e., the potential benefits of spillover from a highly protected area to surrounding reefs (e.g., Sale et al. 2005; Jones et al. 2007).”
Modeling population connectivity by ocean currents, a graph-theoretic approach for marine conservation (2007, background): “Understanding the physical and biological factors that contribute to marine connectivity is critical to the implementation of marine conservation and management strategies (Roberts 1997; Cowen et al. 2000; Kinlan et al. 2005; Sale et al. 2005; Trakhtenbrot et al. 2005).”
Spatial fisheries ecology: Recent progress and future prospects (2008, background): “This poses a scientific need to spatially characterize marine ecosystems (Dayton et al., 2000; Ciannelli et al., 2004b) and calls for a better understanding of what actually constitutes habitat quality (Sale et al., 2005; Dahlgren et al., 2006; Agostini et al., 2008-this volume).”
