Marine reserves and fishery profit: practical designs offer
optimal solutions.
Crow White, Bruce Kendall, Dave Siegel, and Chris Costello University of California – Santa Barbara
Larval export
No Fishin
g
When is larval export maximized?
What reserve design (size and spacing) maximizes larval export to fishable areas?
Do reserves benefit fisheries?
Is fishery yield/profit greater under optimal reserve design than
attainable without reserves?
Research Question:
To maximize larval export (and thus benefit fisheries) should reserves be…
…few and large,
When is larval export maximized?
…or many and small?
SLOSS debate
Coastal fish & invert life history traits in model Adults are sessile, reproducing seasonally (e.g. Brouwer et al. 2003, Lowe et al. 2003, Parsons et al. 2003)
Larvae disperse, mature after 1+ yrs (e.g. Dethier et al. 2003, Grantham et al. 2003)
Larva settlement and/or recruitment success decreases with increasing adult density at that location
(post-dispersal density dependence) (e.g. Steele and Forrester 2002, Lecchini and Galzin 2003)

Summary 1. Post-dispersal density dependence generates larval
export.
2. Larval export varies with reserve size and spacing.
3. Fishery yield and profit maximized via…
Less than ~15% coastline in reserves
…Any reserve spacing option.
More than ~15% coastline in reserves
…Several small or few medium-sized reserves.
Summary
4. Reserves benefit fisheries when escapement is moderate to low (E < ~35%*K)
5. Reserves become more beneficial as fish become easier to catch (low θ)
Summary 4. Given optimal reserve spacing, a near-maximum
profit is maintained across a spectrum of reserve and harvest scenarios:
ReservesNone/few
Many
EscapementHigh Low
Summary
Along this spectrum exists an optimal reserve network scenario, based on the fisheries’ self-
regulated escapement, that maximizes profits to the fishery.
4. Given optimal reserve spacing, a near-maximum profit is maintained across a spectrum of reserve and harvest scenarios:
ReservesNone Many
EscapementHigh Low
None/few

Nt+1 = Ntr(1-Nt)
Yield = Ntr(1-Nt)-Nt
MSY = max{Yield}
dYield/dN = r – 2rN – 1 = 0
N = (r – 1)/2r
MSY = Yield(N = (r – 1)/2*r) = (r – 1)2 / 4r

MSY = Yield(c = (r + 1)/2r) = (r – 1)2 / 4r
Ricker model:
post-dispersal density dependence
No reserves:
Nt+1 = rNte-gNt
Surplus growth = Yield = rNe-gN – N
dYield/dN = re-gN – grNe-gN – 1 = 0

2. Plug N into Yield(N,r,g) = MSY
Ricker model:

Nr* = Log[cr] / g
Recruitment to fishable domain =
Yield = crNr(1 – c)e-gNo
Yield(Nr* = Log[cr] / g) = crLog[cr](1 – c) / g
dYield/dc = (rLog[cr] + r – 2crLog[cr] – cr) / g = 0
1. Find c for dYield/dc = 0
2. Plug c into Yield(c,r,g) = MSY

FUTURE RESEARCH
1. Evaluate under post-dispersal dd where larvae recruitment success depends on sympatric larvae density.
2. Conduct analysis within a finite domain.
3. Add size structure to the fish population.
