TL;DR: There is significant variation in the response of different species of fish to protection and this heterogeneity can be explained, in part, by differences in their traits, and effects vary with economic value, body size, habitat, depth range, and schooling behavior.

TL;DR: It is concluded that pelagic sharks have limited spatial refuge from current levels of fishing effort in marine areas beyond national jurisdictions (the high seas), demonstrating an urgent need for conservation and management measures at high-seas hotspots of shark space use.

TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analytical approach was developed to investigate the effects of protection on adjacent fisheries and asking how these effects are influenced by MPA size and age, and the results indicated that an adequate, often extended, time frame was used for the management and the evaluation of effectiveness of MPAs.
