Lundy, ecological effects of the No Take Zone (NTZ) 2009-03-01 publication NATENG000282 http://www.naturalengland.org.uk Report following an ecological study assessing the effects of the first 5 years of the Lundy No Take Zone (NTZ). The report introduces Lundy, it's natural history and the NTZ. Three monitoring programmes were designed to test a number of hypotheses. These monitoring programmes looked at lobsters and crabs, scallops and sessile epifauna. For each of the monitoring programmes the assessment methods, results and analysis are presented. Finally, a general discussion including interpretation of the results and a summary is presented.

The report introduces Lundy, it's natural history and the NTZ. Three monitoring programmes were designed to test a number of hypotheses. These monitoring programmes looked at lobsters and crabs, scallops and sessile epifauna. Four species of commercially-fished crustaceans were monitored as part of the lobster and crab assessment. Sampling was done using standard fishing pots deployed at various locations, allowing for comparison. The locations were the NTZ, two 'near controls' and two 'far reference' locations. Abundance and size measurements (carapace length) were recorded for each species. The abundance and size of scallops along a number of transects was recorded by divers. The transects were within four sites - two within the NTZ and two within a control zone - but no far reference sites. Similarly, the assessment of sessile epifauna was conducted by divers at four sites (two within the NTZ and two controls) but no far reference sites. A list of 15 species were selected for monitoring. Quadrats were placed at pre-determined distances along a transect line and the epifaunal abundances recorded. The data from each of the monitoring programmes was statistically analysed and the results are presented within the repoort. The concluding discussion interprets the results, makes considerations for future research and includes a final summary. Marine recorder survey number: MRNE01340000000E
