Alcala, A.C. and G.R. Russ (1990). A Direct Test of the Effects of
Protective Management on Abundance and Yield of Tropical Marine
Resources. J. Cons. Int. Explor. Mer., 46:40-47.
Despite a vast body of traditional knowledge on management of marine
resources in the tropics, there are few direct tests utilizing manipulative or
natural experiments of the effect of protective management on the abundance of
marine resources and, more importantly, their yield. This paper reports on a
natural experiment that makes such a direct test. Approximately 25% of the
sub-tidal coral reef of Sumilon Island (total reef area to 30 m isobath = 0.5
square km) in the central Philippines was protected from all forms of
exploitation from 1974 until May 1984. Cessation of protective management led
to fishing of the entire coral reef. This resulted in a significant reduction
in abundance within the previously protected area of the fishes which
constituted the majority of the yield from the reef. Catch per unit effort
measure over a one year period eighteen months after protective management
ceased was significantly less than that measured over a one year period before
protective management ceased. There was a decline of 54% in the total yield
of reef fishes from Sumilon Island reef between 1983/1984 and 1985/1986
despite the fact that only 75% of the reef was fished in 1983/1984. The yield
from traps and gill nets (approximately 64% of the total yield) from the whole
reef in 1985/1986 was significantly less than the average yield of the
nonreserve (75% of the reef) measured during three of the years of protection.
Similarly, the yield from traps (approximately 45% of the total yield) in
1985/1986 was significantly less than the average yield of the nonreserve (75%
of the reef) measured during six of the years of protection. Protective
management maintained high abundances of fishes in the reserve and
significantly higher yields to fishermen from areas adjacent to the reserve.
Migration of adult fish from the reserve to the nonreserve area during
protection is the simplest explanation of these results.

This is an introduction to Cluster Analysis for those with no background
and for those who need an up to date and systematic guide through the maze of
concepts, techniques, and algorithms associated with the clustering idea.

The logit and probit models that analyze dichotomous and polytomous
dependent variables are developed. Although a tendency to analysis
dichotomous dependent variables with ordinary least squares regression
techniques has existed, the authors demonstrate that this approach is not an
appropriate strategy. Probit analysis is more ideally suited to such problems
while logit ought to be the method of choice for polytomous dependent
variables.
