Results of mixed-model, repeated measure ANOVAs showing the number of species within each of the four marine protected areas (MPA) that exhibited significantly higher biomass-caught-per-angler-hour (BPUE) and mean lengths in either the MPA or associated reference (REF) sites in 2007 and 2008 (2008 and 2009 in Piedras Blancas).
