Marine protected areas' positive effect on fish biomass persists across the steep climatic gradient of the Mediterranean Sea

Ori Frid et al.

Summary: The positive effect of fully protected marine protected areas (MPAs) on marine biodiversity, and specifically on fishes, has been widely documented. The potential of MPAs to mitigate the impact of adverse climatic conditions has seldom been investigated. This study assessed the effectiveness of MPAs in increasing fish biomass across the Mediterranean Sea and found that while MPAs did increase fish biomass, higher seawater temperatures were associated with decreased fish biomass. Importantly, the rate of decrease in fish biomass with temperature was similar between protected and fished sites.

External fishing effort regulates positive effects of no-take marine protected areas

Shelby L. Ziegler et al.

Summary: Marine protected areas (MPAs) are established worldwide to mitigate the effects of various stressors on marine communities. This study found that the impacts of MPAs on fish communities are influenced by fishing pressure and environmental factors. Specifically, MPAs have the strongest positive effects on heavily exploited fish communities. Therefore, it is important for managers to consider both human-induced stressors and environmental conditions when establishing MPAs, as well as implement long-term monitoring programs to assess their functionality.

Non-indigenous species along the Israeli Mediterranean coast: tally, policy, outlook

Bella S. Galil et al.

Summary: The Israeli Mediterranean coast has recorded 452 multicellular non-indigenous species, with nearly 90% believed to have been introduced through the Suez Canal. The Israeli shelf serves as an important way station and breeding ground for Erythraean NIS, with a positive relationship between time since first record and spread. Recognition of factors driving the introduction and establishment of marine NIS are increasing, urging Contracting Parties to Barcelona Convention to take prevention and control measures.

A review of seascape complexity indices and their performance in coral and rocky reefs

Mai Lazarus et al.

Summary: Several common indices captured similar complexity facets, while an innovative family of structural diversity indices, representing the diversity of physical elements, captured distinct complexity facets not represented by existing indices. No single index was consistently superior; however, vertical relief was consistently included as a top predictor of fish assemblage structure. Interestingly, the most commonly used index, rugosity, was a poor predictor.

Detection of protection benefits for predatory fishes depends on census methodology

Irene Rojo et al.

Summary: Marine protected areas are important tools for fisheries management and conservation. A study comparing different census methods in assessing protection benefits for large predatory fishes found that transects covering larger areas were more effective in detecting species and providing accurate estimates of density and biomass. Multiple protection areas, including no-take and buffer zones, were found to be ecologically effective for conserving predatory fishes.

Inconsistent relationships among protection, benthic assemblage, habitat complexity and fish biomass in Mediterranean temperate rocky reefs

Eugenio Di Franco et al.

Summary: The study assessed the impacts of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) on benthic assemblages, habitat complexity, and fish populations, showing that protection did not significantly affect overall benthic assemblages but helped protect important erect algae species. Additionally, the research found that protection positively influenced fish biomass independently of habitat complexity.

Performance of a baited underwater video system vs. the underwater visual census technique in assessing the structure of fish assemblages in a Mediterranean marine protected area

Gabriella La Manna et al.

Summary: Accurate fish assemblage monitoring is crucial for MPA management, and video-based methods such as BRUV systems have shown to be effective in providing complementary data to traditional UVC techniques. This study evaluated the performance of a BRUV system in a Mediterranean MPA, finding consistency with UVC results and better performance in detecting certain species, supporting BRUV as an additional technique for assessing fish assemblage in the Mediterranean Sea.
