Species richness (based on fish species that are considered  to be reserve effect indicators), and the size structure of 4 species  vulnerable to angling and spear fishing were studied by visual censuses  conducted both inside and outside the marine reserve. Analysis of fish  populations inside the reserve showed a reserve effect (larger sizes,  higher abundance and richer fish assemblages) when compared to the  non-reserve sites, especially by the end of the study period. The  results highlight the importance of marine reserves for the recovery of  fish populations. Future management plans are discussed for this marine  reserve.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;499&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;504&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
