Benefits of closed area protection for a population of scallops (2005, background): “Recruitment into the closed area may have been even more successful due to the presence of high densities of hydroids, an important settlement substrate for pectinid larvae (Bradshaw et al. 2003).”
Evaluating the biological effectiveness of fully and partially protected marine areas (2013, background): “Closed areas with significantly greater biomass of attached species such as hydroids have been suggested to be important settlement substrata for pectinid larvae [85,86], so that protection during this critical phase may assist in the recovery of scallop populations in the closed area.”
Chronic bottom trawling alters the functional composition of benthic invertebrate communities on a sea-basin scale (2006, unknown): “Unfortunately, many of these studies do not have spatial replicates because of the lack of detailed spatial effort distribution data and the scarcity of marine reserves that might act as reference points (e.g. Bradshaw et al. 2003, Bremner et al. 2003b).”
