Evaluating the biological effectiveness of fully and partially protected marine areas (2013, background): “There have been numerous reviews on the effectiveness of no-take marine reserves for fish populations [29-39], however few attempts have been made to generalize the ecological effects of partially protected areas to date (but see [40]).”
A theory for optimal monitoring of marine reserves (2005, background): “Perhaps not surprisingly, a study that considered individual fish species found that only commercially important species increased in abundance significantly inside the reserve (Mosquera et al. 2000).”
Benefits of closed area protection for a population of scallops (2005, background): “In common with a growing number of studies (for recent reviews see Mosquera et al. 2000, Halpern & Warner 2002, Gell & Roberts 2003, Halpern 2003), our work demonstrated that closed area protection results in increases in the density and mean age and size of exploited species.”
Modelling the effects of establishing a marine reserve for mobile fish species (2002, background): “Increases in fish abundance and size in reserves have been widely reported (Mosqueira et al. 2000), although whether these benefits are exported to surrounding areas is less clear.”
Multiple disturbances and the global degradation of coral reefs: are reef fishes at risk or resilient? (2006, methodology): “As the size of survey areas may also influence estimates of fish abundance, results from each study were weighted by multiplying the change in fish abundance by the natural logarithm of the study area, following Mosquera et al. (2000).”
Patterns and prediction of population recovery in marine reserves (2000, background): “…1992; Polunin and Roberts, 1993; Watson and Ormond, 1994; Dufour et al., 1995; Roberts, 1995; Jennings et al., 1996; McClanahan and KaundaArara, 1996; Letourner, 1996; Rakitin and Kramer, 1996; Russ and Alcala, 1996, 1988 a,b; Wantiez et al., 1997; Chapman and Kramer, 1999; Mosquera et al., 2000).”
Towards sustainability in world fisheries (2002, background): “Marine protected areas (MPAs), with no-take reserves at their core, combined with a strongly limited effort in the remaining fishable areas, have been shown to have positive effects in helping to rebuild depleted stock”
Rapid recolonisation of snapper Pagrus auratus: Sparidae within an offshore island marine reserve after implementation of no-take status (2004, background): “…to exploitation from fishing, and the evidence that marine reserves increase the density, biomass and size of target species on reefs appears considerable (see reviews in Roberts & Polunin 1991, Dugan & Davis 1993, Rowley 1994, Attwood et al. 1997, Mosquera et al. 2000, Palumbi 2001, Halpern 2003).”
Documented and Potential Biological Impacts of Recreational Fishing: Insights for Management and Conservation (2006, background): “The abundance and age structure of exploited and large-bodied species respond especially positively to reserves (Evans and Russ, 2004; Mosqueira et al., 2000).”
Recovery trajectories of coral reef fish assemblages within Kenyan marine protected areas (2005, background): “…marine protected areas (MPAs) are a modern conservation phenomenon (Kelleher et al. 1995), and that most studies of MPAs, apart from meta-analyses (Mosquera et al. 2000, Cote et al. 2001, Halpern 2003), are based on only one or a few closed areas often at one point in time and measured effects…”
Population recovery patterns of Southeast Asian ungulates after poaching (2010, background): “Marine reserves and no-take zones, which are similar conceptually, have successfully restored fish populations in overfished areas (Mosqueira et al., 2000; Roberts et al., 2001).”
