Seasonal surveys were conducted  from May 1996 to March 1997 at several sites located within three zones  ot the reserve, each characterized by different levels of protection  (integral reserve, general reserve and partial reserve). Visual strip  transects were conducted using SCUBA at three different depth (3-5m,  10-15m, 25-30m). Species richness ans diversity indices were better  correlated to depth than to protection level. Oppositely, size and-or  abundance of some vulnerable species (e.g. Epinephelus marginatus,  Labrus meruda, Labrus viridis) were positively correlated with degree of  protection ans the so-called &amp;quot;reserve effect&amp;quot;. These observations  stress the importance of protection measures for littoral fish  assemblages and represent the only available data for an Italian marine  park of consderable extent.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;281&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;286&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
