文摘
- •
Girella tricuspidata exhibits strong site fidelity on shallow subtidal reefs.
- •
Greater size and abundance of targeted herbivores inside marine reserves
- •
Higher average grazing rates inside marine reserves and positive correlation between herbivore abundance and grazing rates
- •
Exploitation of targeted herbivores is significant and marine reserves can act to reduce this impact.
