Abstract:Marine Protected Areas limit fishing to protect a broad range of species and enhance biodiversity. Consequently, closures may not benefit species equally and species‐specific assessments are required to determine the impact of closures.
Relative abundance and size of Giant Mud Crab (Scylla serrata) was compared across no‐take and fished zones in Port Stephens‐Great Lakes Marine Park, on the temperate east coast of Australia (32.45°S). In addition, passive acoustic telemetry was used to estimate daily space‐use… Show more
