y then collected juveniles of both species from 19 protected and fished locations up to 30 kilometers from the focal reserves. By recording the sampling locations of all adult and juvenile fishes and using the DNA to assign offspring to one or both parents, they were able to track the movements of juveniles spawned in the focal reserves.
Based on that evidence, the researchers estimate that reserves, which account for just 28 per cent of the local reef area, produced approximately half of all
