TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) and found that 3 of 15 Italian marine reserves investigated had adequate enforcement, and that patterns of recovery of target fish were related to enforcement.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The hypothesis regarding the crucial trophic role of A. imberbis in connecting Mediterranean marine caves with external habitats is supported, as the stomach repletion of individuals sampled early in the morning was significantly higher than later in the day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating effects of total and partial restrictions to fishing on Mediterranean rocky-reef fish assemblages
TL;DR: In this paper, a visual census in sublittoral rocky reefs at the Tavolara-Punta Coda Cavallo Marine Protected Area (TMPA; Mediterranean Sea) and compared among locations characterised by different protection levels: no-take/noaccess zones, 2 types of par- tial protected areas (PPAs), and locations outside the TMPA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and temporal variability of sessile benthos in shallow Mediterranean marine caves
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the spatial and temporal distribution of sessile assemblages in sub- merged marine caves and found a high complexity of the processes determining spatio-temporal distribution patterns in marine caves, which are context and scale-dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the effects of protection on fish predators and sea urchins in shallow artificial rocky habitats: a case study in the northern Adriatic Sea
TL;DR: Protection may significantly affect predatory fishes in artificial rocky habitats, and protected artificial structures such as breakwaters, originally planned for other purposes, could represent a potential tool for fish population recovery and enhancement of local fisheries.
