Movement Patterns and Site Utilization of Fishes as Determined by Acoustic Telemetry: Implications for the Design of Marine Reserves
Marine reserves (MRs), also known as no-take reserves, represent one of the primary tools for conservation and management of the marine environment currently available to managers. While the theoretical justification for MRs is extensive (see National Research Council 2001), and mounting evidence de...

Marine reserves (MRs), also known as no-take reserves, represent one of the primary tools for conservation and management of the marine environment currently available to managers. While the theoretical justification for MRs is extensive (see National Research Council 2001), and mounting evidence demonstrates the effectiveness of MRs as a management tool (Halpern, 2003), empirical data on the utility of MRs for mobile taxa such as fishes is still needed (Lindholm and Auster, 2002). Information on the movement of individual fish relative to landscape features, in both tropical and temperate seas, is critical for the design of successful MRs. A number of studies have demonstrated that many fish species exhibit statistically significant but facultative associations at various life history stages with specific microtopographic structures (=microhabitats) in low topography environments (e.g., Auster et al. 2003; Auster et al.
