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): “…2000; Burton et al., 2005; Nemeth, 2005), increased mean body size (e.g. Beets and Friedlander, 1999; Luckhurst and Trott, 2008; Kadison et al., 2010), and a shift of sex ratio towards more natural levels at FSA sites (Beets and Friedlander, 1999; Whaylen et al., 2004; Kadison et al., 2010).”
Aggregations and offshore movements as indicators of spawning activity of bonefish (Albula vulpes) in The Bahamas (2011, background): “From an evolutionary perspective, migratory behavior in Wshes, as well as many other animals (Frank et al. 1998; Dingle and Drake 2007), is adaptive because the energetic and life history costs of relocating, even over vast distances, are outweighed by the beneWts of residing in a more suitable loca”
