  abstract = {{T}wo kinds of approaches have been used for assessing conservation and fisheries-related effects of marine protected areas ({MPA}s): (i) statistical modelling based on field data and (ii) mathematical modelling quantifying the consequences of {MPA}s on the dynamics of populations, communities, and fisheries. {S}tatistical models provide a diagnostic on the impact of {MPA}s on the ecosystem and resources; they are also needed for devising and assessing sampling designs for monitoring programs. {D}ynamic models enable exploration of the consequences of {MPA} designs and other management policies. {W}e briefly review how each of these approaches has been implemented up to now in the literature and identify potential indicators of {MPA} effects that can be obtained from each approach to provide scientific advice for managers. {M}ethodological gaps that impede the assessment of {MPA} effects and the construction of appropriate indicators are then discussed, and recent developments in this respect are presented. {W}e finally propose ways to reconcile the two approaches based on their complementarity to derive suitable indicators to support decision making. {I}n this respect, we suggest in addition that {MPA} managers should be associated from the beginning to the design and construction of indicators.},
