Comparison of fisheries-related parameters between the two French Polynesia islands of Bora-Bora and Moorea. It is worth noting that the Maximum Sustainable Yield process in Moorea was carried out with the entire lagoon biomass, rather than just commercial fish biomass, which may explain the difference between the Bora-Bora results.
