	abstract = {<p>Marine reserves have been identified as an important tool in the  management of fishery resources and their number is increasing rapidly,  most of them being on islands. However, knowledge on the real effect of  protection from fishing on the genetic structure of populations, the  spatial scales involved, or the suitability of islands as reserves in  terms of connectivity, is scarce. This paper analyses the effects of  fishery protection on the genetic structure of populations of Diplodus  sargus, a target species, in protected and non-protected areas of the  western Mediterranean. Populations studied showed high genetic  variability at spatial scales from 101 to 103 km. Protected areas have  significantly higher allelic richness. The lower levels of heterozygosis  and higher heterozygote deficit showed by islands compared with coastal  areas makes clear the importance of considering the connectivity  processes when designing a MPA.</p>},
