In order to assess the effects of protection, coastal fish assemblages from 3 zones with different protection levels were investigated by visual census in the Asinara Island MPA (North-western Sardinia). On the whole 45 species of Teleosts from 18 families were observed. Labrids and Sparids were more abundant in both species richness and density. Significant differences in densities of Diplodus sargus and D. vulgaris in the 3 zones, due to both the protection measures and the geographic exposure, were found.

Abstract
In order to assess the effects of protection, coastal fish assemblages from 3 zones with different protection levels were investigated by visual census in the Asinara Island MPA (North-western Sardinia). On the whole 45 species of Teleosts from 18 families were observed. Labrids and Sparids were more abundant in both species richness and density. Significant differences in densities of Diplodus sargus and D. vulgaris in the 3 zones, due to both the protection measures and the geographic exposure, were found.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
