Impacts of spatial and temporal restrictions by gear type.

Mean catch weight per trip for all catches and under spatial and temporal restrictions for each gear type. 'Current overall' shows the mean catch averaged over all locations and times of year. 'Spatial closure' compares catches in restricted areas with catches in non-restricted fishing locations. 'Temporal closure' compares catches during an October-November closed period with catches over the remainder of the year. Mean catches in non-restricted areas and not in the closed period comprise ‘both closures’. Catch weight is in kilograms (kg) with lower and upper values given for the 95% confidence interval (CI).a Median price paid for catches by trap fishers was US$0.83 per kilogram [15].b Median price paid for catches by gill net fishers was US$0.91 per kilogram [15].Impacts of spatial and temporal restrictions by gear type.
