Inferring pathways used by organisms within ecosystems is essential to the design, management and evaluation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). This study aimed to present a systematic review on the literature regarding the use of acoustic telemetry to monitor marine fish movement and its application on MPAs. Searches were conducted on electronic databases. The first studies using telemetry on marine fish date back to the 60’s, while application on MPAs only appeared 30 years later. However, over the last decade, studies in MPAs accounted for 20% of the overall acoustic telemetry publications on marine fish species. Recent technological development has had an important impact on those results. The number of studies inside MPAs followed the number of general studies and coverage areas of MPAs declared around the world, although frequency of studies did not match MPA coverage in some countries. Developed countries scored more studies, probably due to the relative high cost of acoustic telemetry. Studies in Brazilian MPAs are scarce, with only one study available on elasmobranchs. Brazil has recently increased its MPA coverage to 26%, so it is expected to increase the need for MPA effectiveness studies. Brazilian participation on global tracking networks may help filling this gap. Keywords: PRISMA statement, fish movement, remote monitoring, MPA effectiveness, tracking networks

AbstractMonitoring of marine protected areas (MPAs) is critical for marine ecosystem management, yet current protocols rely on SCUBA-based visual surveys that are costly and time consuming, limiting their scope and effectiveness. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a promising alternative for marine ecosystem monitoring, but more direct comparisons to visual surveys are needed to understand the strengths and limitations of each approach. This study compares fish communities inside and outside the Scorpion State Marine Reserve off Santa Cruz Island, CA using eDNA metabarcoding and underwater visual census surveys. Results from eDNA captured 76% (19/25) of fish species and 95% (19/20) of fish genera observed during pairwise underwater visual census. Species missed by eDNA were due to the inability of MiFish 12S barcodes to differentiate species of rockfishes (Sebastes, n=4) or low site occupancy rates of crevice-dwelling Lythrypnus gobies. However, eDNA detected an additional 30 fish species not recorded in paired visual surveys, but previously reported from prior visual surveys, highlighting the sensitivity of eDNA. Significant variation in eDNA signatures by location (50m) and site (~1000m) demonstrates the sensitivity of eDNA to address key questions such as community composition inside and outside MPAs. Interestingly, eDNA results recorded higher species richness outside the MPA while visual surveys observed the opposite pattern. This result is likely caused by swamping effects of high fish abundance in MPAs that reduce detection probabilities of pelagic and intertidal taxa. Results demonstrate the utility of eDNA metabarcoding for monitoring marine ecosystems, providing an important complementary tool to visual methods.
