Protected areas preserve natural behaviour of a targeted fish species on coral reefs

2016-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Marine protected areas are increasingly being implemented to attain a variety of conservation and fisheries management objectives. Although rarely considered, protection of targeted species within these areas may also conserve behaviours (e.g. boldness) that are often the first removed by human exploitation. Here we examine fish behaviour in fished, no-take, and no-entry management zones for a highly targeted reef...
