Abstract Knowledge of the population biology, life-history ecology and scales of pre and post-
settlement movement of marine species are needed to inform effective conservation …

Ecological modeling shows that even small, gradual changes in body size in a fish
population can have large effects on natural mortality, biomass, and catch. However, efforts …

Life history parameters were historically used to identify fish stocks because they are often
easy to measure or are routinely measured as part of fishery monitoring and because they …

The effects of fishing have been documented across coral reefs worldwide. No-take marine
reserves do not only act as a conservation tool, but also allow an opportunity to study …

Several studies have examined the horizontal or two-dimensional (2-D) movements of red
snapper, Lutjanus campechanus, but none have described the long-term depth preferences …

Understanding the movement dynamics of marine fish provides valuable information that
can assist with species management, particularly regarding protection within marine …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are important conservation tools, however, efficacy can, in
part, be a function of their size in relation to the home range of the target species. The …

Depth and habitat are important predictors of fish assemblage structure, yet current no-take
marine protected area (MPA) networks are generally limited to providing refuge for fish …

Understanding movement patterns, habitat use and behaviour of fish is critical to
determining how targeted species may respond to protection provided by “no-take” …

Temporal movement patterns and spawning behaviour of the dusky grouper Epinephelus
marginatus were investigated using depth and temperature sensors combined to acoustic …
