Marine reserves can exploit population structure and life history in improving potential fisheries yieldsBrian Gaylord, Steven D. Gaines, David A. Siegel, Mark H. Carr. In Press. Ecol. Apps.
Post-dispersal density dependence:
survival of new recruits decreases with increasing density of adults at settlement location.
Logistic model:
post-dispersal density dependence
No reserves:
Nt+1 = Ntr(1-Nt)
Yield = Ntr(1-Nt)-Nt
MSY = max{Yield}
dYield/dN = r – 2rN – 1 = 0
N = (r – 1)/2r
MSY = Yield(N = (r – 1)/2*r) = (r – 1)2 / 4r
Logistic model:
Scorched earth outside reserves
post-dispersal density dependence
Reserves:
Nt+1 = crNr(1-Nr)
Nr* = 1 – 1/cr
Yield = crNr(1 – c)(1 – No)
Yield(Nr* = 1 – 1/cr) = -rc2 + cr + c – 1
dYield/dc = -2cr + r + 1 = 0
c = (r + 1)/2r
MSY = Yield(c = (r + 1)/2r) = (r – 1)2 / 4r
Ricker model:
post-dispersal density dependence
No reserves:
Nt+1 = rNte-gNt
Surplus growth = Yield = rNe-gN – N
dYield/dN = re-gN – grNe-gN – 1 = 0
1. Find N for dYield/dN = 0
2. Plug N into Yield(N,r,g) = MSY
Ricker model:
Reserves:
Nr = crNre-gNr
Nr* = Log[cr] / g
Recruitment to fishable domain =
Yield = crNr(1 – c)e-gNo
Yield(Nr* = Log[cr] / g) = crLog[cr](1 – c) / g
dYield/dc = (rLog[cr] + r – 2crLog[cr] – cr) / g = 0
1. Find c for dYield/dc = 0
2. Plug c into Yield(c,r,g) = MSY
Comparing MSYs:
MSYreserve = max{crLog[cr](1 – c) / g}
MSYfishable = max{ rNe-gN – N}
dYfishable/dN = re-gN – grNe-gN – 1 = 0
