	abstract = {<p>Two kinds of approaches have been used to assessing conservation and  fisheries-related effects of marine protected areas (MPAs) : (i)  statistical modelling based on fiel data and (ii) mathematical modelling  quantifying the consequences of MPAs on the dynamics of populations,  communities, and fisheries. Statictical models provide a diagnostic on  the impact od MPAs on the ecosystem and resources; they are also needed  for devising and assessing sampling designs for monitoring programs.  Dynamics models enable exploration of teh conseqences of MPA designs ans  other management policies. We briefly review how each of these  approaches has been implemented up to now in the literature and identify  potential indicators of MPA effects that can be obtained from each  approach to provide scientific advice for managers. Methodologicals gaps  that impede the assessment of MPA effects and the constryction of  appropirate indicatoes are the discussed, and recent developments in the  respect are presented. We finally propose ways to reconcile the two  approaches based in their complementarity to derive suitable indicators  to support decision making. In this respect, we suggest in addition that  MPA managers should be associated from the beginning to the design ans  construction of indicators.</p>},
