Movement of sonically tagged bluespine unicornfish, Naso unicornis, in relation to marine reserve boundaries in Rodrigues, western Indian Ocean

Abstract: The lagoon fishery of Rodrigues has considerable socio‐economic importance; however, catches have declined by 50% in recent years. The bluespine unicornfish, Naso unicornis (Forsskål 1775) is an important component of the fishery. To begin to assess whether marine reserves might benefit this species, sonic telemetry was used to track individual fish in one of Rodrigues' four marine reserves. Seven unicornfish were caught in the Grand Bassin reserve and tagged with abdominally implanted acoustic tags. Over a pe… Show more

“…type B populations provide a record of movement of individual fish among groups of fish associated with the Great Barrier Reef. These suggested patterns of movement are consistent with the 'commuting' and 'foraying' patterns observed in Naso unicornis studies using radio telemetry-based tracking [75,76].…”

“…Human pressure is less documented for the Rodrigues reef. In response to overfishing 10 years ago, the local government of Rodrigues implemented four MPAs to the north of the island, but only partial management has been set up and fishing still occurs in these areas [ 62 , 63 ]. In addition, the South East Marine Protected Area (SEMPA) is an area in the south-eastern of Rodrigues designated as an MPA in 2009.…”

“…Naso unicornis are found in tropical regions throughout the Indo-Pacific and are a target group for artisanal fisheries (Randall 2001;Hardman et al, 2010;Marshell et al 2011;McIlwain et al 2012). N. unicornis is belonging to family Acanthuridae ans is classified as herbivorous grazer.…”
