A) Percent settlement (mean ± SE) of MPA larvae on rubble from the MPA without macroalgae, the fished area without macroalgae, and the fished area with macroalgae at 24 and 48 hours (n = 15 with the exception of one lost replicate due to sloughing of macroalgae during the settlement experiment; absolute percentages provided). Repeated measures ANOVA was performed on square root transformed proportion data. B) Percent survival (mean ± SE) of newly settled juvenile corals on rubble from the MPA without macroalgae, the fished area without macroalgae, and the fished area with macroalgae that were out-planted to their corresponding reef (MPA rubble planted in the MPA and fished area rubble planted in the fished area) when the juvenile corals were four days old. Repeated measures ANOVA was performed on proportion data (n = 11 – 15 due to loss of replicates planted on the reef over time).
