Evaluating the biological effectiveness of fully and partially protected marine areas (2013, background): “[65,91,106-110]), there was a general lack of data quantifying the relationship between biota and habitat structure inside and outside the MPA (but see [45,91,101,108-112]).”
Rapid recolonisation of snapper Pagrus auratus: Sparidae within an offshore island marine reserve after implementation of no-take status (2004, background): “Despite this, the effectiveness of partial closures for either conservation or enhanced fishing has not been well evaluated (but see Francour 1994, Vacchi et al. 1998, Westera et al. 2003, Denny & Babcock 2004).”
The application of predicted habitat models to investigate the spatial ecology of demersal fish assemblages (2010, background): “Linking demersal Wsh assemblages to accurate and continuous benthic habitat information can be used to understand and predict the richness and abundance of these assemblages at Wne scales (Choat and Ayling 1987; Jenkins and Sutherland 1997; Jenkins and Wheatley 1998; Hyndes et al. 1999; O’Hara 200”
Bait attraction affects the performance of remote underwater video stations in assessment of demersal fish community structure (2007, methodology): “…operated video stations have been used to minimise the biases introduced by the presence of SCUBA divers (Willis & Babcock 2000, Willis et al. 2000, Westera et al. 2003) and those biases associated with gear selectivity inherent in baited trapping and hook-and-line surveys (Ellis & DeMartini 1995,…”
Documented and Potential Biological Impacts of Recreational Fishing: Insights for Management and Conservation (2006, background): “Many comparisons between reserves and fished areas were concerned with commercial fisheries; however, some reserves served to protect fish populations depleted by recreational fishing (Jouvenel and Pollard, 2001; Westera et al., 2003).”
Bait type affects fish assemblages and feeding guilds observed at baited remote underwater video stations (2013, background): “In contrast, Harvey et al. (2007) did not detect differences in the feeding groups attracted to their baited units in a similar but Western Australian temperate reef system.”
A comparison of underwater visual distance estimates made by scuba divers and a stereo-video system: implications for underwater visual census of reef fish abundance (2004, background): “2003) while wearing a full-face mask with a microphone to record audio observations onto one of the videotapes in one of the two video cameras (Westera et al. 2003).”
Protection from fishing alters the species composition of fish assemblages in a temperate-tropical transition zone (2007, background): “Watson and Ormond (1994), Westera et al. (2003) and Begg et al. (2005) also found a greater relative abundance of Lethrinid species inside MPAs than in areas open to fishing, however we could find no published work that examined the combined influence of protection and depth on Lethrinid species.”
Spatial prediction of demersal fish distributions: enhancing our understanding of species–environment relationships (2009, background): “However, the majority previous studies have relied upon categorical or linear descriptors of relief (Ebeling et al. 1980, Cole 1994, McCormick 1994, Friedlander & Parrish 1998, Moser et al. 1998, Babcock et al. 1999, Willis 2001, Curley et al. 2002, Westera et al. 2003, Willis & Anderson 2003).”
