Using simulation analysis, we investigate in a limited-entry fishery comprising nine subpopulations the inherent bioeconomic trade-offs associated with cost-effective designs of marine reserve networks' that is, the trade-offs between the degree of connectedness of a site and the biological and economic heterogeneity. We find in many cases that closing two low-value patches can result in larger biological gains and lower costs than closing one high-value patch. We also simulate biological productivity effects after creation of a reserve and find that under special conditions, aggregate sustainable rents are maximized with the closing of a portion of the fishable habitat. Finally, we find that the biological gains of implementing a more rationalized management system can outweigh the gains from closing multiple subpopulations under open access. 000010624 546__ $$aEnglish 000010624 650__ $$aResource/Energy Economics and Policy 000010624 6531_ $$alimited-entry 000010624 6531_ $$amarine reserve networks 000010624 6531_ $$aspatial management 000010624 700__ $$aSanchirico, James N. 000010624 8564_ $$90efe8cc9-ed31-40fd-9b19-ae2c4a87024e$$s321610$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/10624/files/dp020069.pdf 000010624 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/10624 000010624 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:10624$$pGLOBAL_SET 000010624 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2007-03-08T04:28:53Z (GMT).
