1. A spatial approach to coastal management, such as marine protected areas, is being increasingly used to address biodiversity and fishery declines resulting from habitat loss, degradation, and overfishing. This approach is especially applicable in regions and fisheries that are data poor, and which often lack regulations and adequate capacity for enforcement. In data-poor situations, species that have economic, cultural, and charismatic value can provide leverage for ecosystem protection.
2. In this study, acoustic telemetry was used to confirm a pre-spawning aggregation site, acting as critical information for protection of essential habitat for bonefish. Additionally, data sharing with an acoustic telemetry study on smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) documented linkages between the pre-spawning aggregation site and bonefish home ranges ≥70 km distant, thus providing an estimate of the catchment area.
3. These data provided post hoc support for a marine national park designated in 2002, and demonstrate that the park is of the appropriate spatial scale.

Bonefish (Albula vulpes) 产卵地点的家庭范围支持海洋保护区的指定

1. 沿海管理的空间方法，例如海洋保护区，正越来越多地用于解决因栖息地丧失、退化和过度捕捞而导致的生物多样性和渔业减少问题。这种方法特别适用于数据匮乏、往往缺乏法规和足够执法能力的区域和渔业。在数据匮乏的情况下，具有经济、文化和魅力价值的物种可以为生态系统保护提供杠杆作用。
2. 在这项研究中，声学遥测用于确认产卵前聚集地点，作为保护骨鱼基本栖息地的关键信息。此外，与对小齿锯鳐（Pristis pectinata）进行声学遥测研究的数据共享记录了产卵前聚集站点和大戟鱼家庭范围≥70 公里远之间的联系，从而提供了对集水区的估计。
3. 这些数据为 2002 年指定的海洋国家公园提供了事后支持，并证明该公园具有适当的空间尺度。
