As well as serving valuable biodiversity conservation roles, functioning no-take fishery reserves protect a portion of the fishery stock as insurance against future over-fishing. So long as there is adequate compliance by the fishing community, it is likely that they will also sustain and even enhance fishery yields in the surrounding area. However, there are significant gaps in scientific knowledge that must be filled if no-take reserves are to be used effectively as fishery management tools. Unfortunately, these gaps are being glossed over by some uncritical advocacy. Here, we review the science, identify the most crucial gaps, and suggest ways to fill them, so that a promising management tool can help meet the growing challenges faced by coastal marine fisheries.
除了发挥重要的生物多样性保护作用外，运作中的禁捕渔业保护区还保护了一部分渔业资源，作为应对未来过度捕捞的保障。只要渔业社区有足够的遵守情况，这些保护区很可能还会维持甚至提高周边地区的渔业产量。然而，如果要将禁捕保护区有效地用作渔业管理工具，科学知识方面存在重大差距必须填补。不幸的是，一些不加批判的宣传正在掩盖这些差距。在这里，我们回顾相关科学，找出最关键的差距，并提出填补这些差距的方法，以便这个有前景的管理工具能够帮助应对沿海海洋渔业面临的日益增长的挑战。
