  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Marine Reserves: a Closer Look at What They Can Accomplish Author: Anderson, Lee G. Year: 2001 The presents a theoretical analysis of the operation of a commercial fishery in the presence of marine reserves. The sustainable yield and revenue curves for reserves are derived and compared to the analogous curves with no reserves. It is shown that reserves will always reduce the sustainable harvest for any total stock size but in certain, but not all cases, they can provide a positive minimum possible stock size. The effects of different reserve sizes and speeds at which migration takes place on economic and boilogical variables are discussed. It is shown that marine reserves and TACs can both achieve a specific equilibrium biomass level, but they will have different biological and economic effects.
