Modelling Reef Fish Population Responses to Fisheries Restrictions
in Marine Protected Areas in the Coral Triangle
Figure 3
Relative biomass density changes inside the three analysed MPAs after 20-year simulation using Ecospace model. The graphs show the change in biomass relative to the base (2005) biomass of large, medium, and small reef fish. The fishing restriction scenarios are shown on the horizontal axis: NF: no fishing, NC: no commercial, ND: no destructive, and SQ: status quo. Black bars represent large reef fish, white bars represent medium reef fish, and grey bars represent small reef fish.
