Figure 2.

Effect of fecundity of large spawners (a–d) and Goodyear compensation ratio (e–h) on fishery performance of a TAC-regulated fishery including MRs, relative to a conventional TAC-regulated fishery (without MRs) at MSY. Large spawner fecundity is normalized with respect to the fecundity of average-size adults. Shaded areas represent values of fecundity or GCR where the differences between fishery performance with MRs and under conventional management are not significant (p ≥ 0.05) at the level of environmental variability simulated in the model. All the other parameters as in table 1, with larval dispersal range equal to 50 km, adult dispersal 1 km, and 36% of the fishing ground set aside for protection in four MRs of 9 km each.
