Table 2.
The rate of change in biomass (biomass per unit effort; BPUE) of the 12 species most commonly caught during surveys along the Central coast region for MPA and Reference (REF) sites following the MHW.
| Common name | Slope | |
|---|---|---|
| MPA | REF | |
| Black rockfish | − 0.09 | 0.02 |
| Blue/Deacon rockfish complex | − 0.02 | 0.05 |
| Brown rockfish | 0.013 | 0.009 |
| Canary rockfish | − 0.005 | 0.002 |
| Copper rockfish | 0.10 | 0.01 |
| Gopher rockfish | 0.25 | 0.11 |
| Kelp rockfish | − 0.03 | − 0.02 |
| Lingcod | − 0.39 | − 0.06 |
| Olive rockfish | 0.34 | 0.03 |
| Rosy rockfish | 0.002 | 0.002 |
| Vermilion rockfish | 0.26 | 0.03 |
| Yellowtail rockfish | − 0.006 | − 0.006 |
Negative values indicate a decline in biomass, positive values indicate an increase in biomass, and values close to zero indicate no change.
