| Abstract: | The authors model the effect of a no-take reserve in a marine fishery management area, such as on a coral reef. Implicitly, eggs and larvae are mobile but adults are not; and there is open access fishing outside the reserve. A reserve is found to increase equilibrium catch if the prior ration of stock to carrying capacity is less than a half, and the catch-maximising reserve proportion rises towards a half as this ration falls towards zero. |
