Modelling Reef Fish Population Responses to Fisheries Restrictions
in Marine Protected Areas in the Coral Triangle
Figure 5
Relative catch changes inside the three analysed MPAs and spillover regions after 20-year simulation using Ecospace model. The bars show the change in catch relative to the base (model initialization for 2005) catch of large, medium, and small reef fish inside the MPAs (left panel) and spillover (right panel) under fishing restriction scenarios shown on horizontal axis: NF: no fishing, NC: no commercial fishing, ND: no destructive fishing, and SQ: status quo fishing. Black bars represent large reef fish, white bars represent medium reef fish, and grey bars represent small reef fish.
