Differences in recreationally targeted fishes between protected and fished areas of a coral reef marine park (2003, background): “…Alcala, 1996; Wantiez et al., 1997) and fished and unfished areas have been shown to differ in abundance, biomass, and numbers of species of fish (Watson and Ormond, 1994; Rakitin and Kramer, 1996; Roberts and Hawkins, 1997; Babcock et al., 1999; McClanahan et al., 1999; Chiappone et al., 2000).”
Fishing groupers towards extinction: a global assessment of threats and extinction risks in a billion dollar fishery (2013, background): “There are many reports of the benefits of MPAs to small- to medium-sized sedentary groupers such as Plectropomus spp, Cephalopholis spp, Mycpteroperca spp (e.g. Roberts 1995; Chiappone et al. 2000).”
The Impact of Nassau Grouper Size and Abundance on Scuba Diver Site Selection and MPA Economics (2002, background): “In general, MPAs have proven effective in this capacity, particularly with regard to large carnivorous species such as groupers and snappers, which are long-lived, slow-growing fishes with delayed reproduction (e.g., Polunin & Roberts, 1993; Sluka et al., 1998; Chiappone et al., 2000).”
Multi-scale spatial heterogeneity, habitat structure, and the effect of marine reserves on Western Mediterranean rocky reef fish assemblages (2004, background): “Another expected effect of protection from fisheries is increasing species richness (e.g. Francour 1994; Jennings et al. 1996; McClanahan and Kaunda-Arara 1996; Wantiez et al. 1997; Russ and Alcala 1998; Chiappone et al. 2000) as we have observed here.”
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): “Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, Bahamas Chiappone et al. (2000) 38 years Nassau grouper density, body size, and biomass significantly higher in the FSA MPA than in adjacent non-protected areas NI”
An age-based demographic analysis of the Caribbean stoplight parrotfish Sparisoma viride (2003, background): “We surveyed local fishers and saw no indications during several visits that Sparisoma viride was exploited at this site, which still supports substantial numbers of lutjanids and large serranids, including Epinephelus striatus (Chiappone et al. 2000).”
