...…between resting and feeding habitats (e.g. the emperor Lethrinus nebulosus moves up to 1 km between lagoon patch reefs and soft bottoms each day: Chateau & Wantiez, 2008b), they sometimes have home ranges that are larger than species whose home ranges include only one habitat type (Kramer &…...

...For example, Chateau and Wantiez (2009) used acoustic telemetry to examine the movement of four commercially exploited reef fish and concluded that the closed areas were not large enough to adequately protect fished species based on evidence of extensive movements outside the protected area....

...Parrotfishes are widely documented to be skittish and highly mobile, thus having a reduced likelihood of detection, often moving away from approaching divers in the area [5,21,28, 29,36,39,43,44]....

...In contrast, as noted at this site [29,39] and in other locations [5,28,36,43,44], strong diver negative responses are regularly reported, especially in parrotfishes....

...…from the same species may also engage in large-scale spawning migrations resulting in a large overall spatial extent, while other, more site-attached individuals exhibit relatively small, stable home ranges (Afonso et al. 2008; see Chateau and Wantiez 2009 for variation in C. microrhinos)....

...No-take marine reserves have been used as tools for managing fishery-targeted species and buffering against broader ecosystem effects of overfishing (Roberts and Polunin, 1993; Russ, 2002; Halpern, 2003)....

...Most existing marine reserves are relatively small (74% are ,10 km(2); Halpern, 2003) and probably provide scant protection for mobile target species (DeMartini, 1993; Meyer et al....

...…coral reef fish across reserve boundaries can affect the abundance and distribution of fish within and outside the reserve, and therefore affect the ability of reserves to preserve fish populations and enhance surrounding fisheries (Kramer and Chapman, 1999; Chapman and Kramer, 2000; Russ, 2002)....

...With the development of acoustic telemetry, accurate studies of the movement patterns of large fish are now possible (Zeller, 1999; Heupel et al., 2006; Chateau and Wantiez, 2007), demonstrating frequent fish movements over hundreds or even thousands of metres (Holland et al., 1996; Zeller, 1997;…...

...Post-settlement coral reef fish are generally considered sedentary and highly site-attached (Sale, 1991; Roberts and Polunin, 1991; Chapman and Kramer, 2000; Zeller et al., 2003; Kulbicki, 2007)....
