  abstract = {{M}arine protected areas ({MPA}s) are implemented worldwide as an efficient tool to preserve biodiversity and protect ecosystems. {W}e used food web models ({E}copath and {E}co{T}roph) to assess the ability of {MPA}s to reduce fishing impacts on targeted resources and to provide biomass exports for adjacent fisheries. {T}hree coastal {MPA}s: {B}onifacio and {P}ort-{C}ros ({M}editerranean {S}ea), and {B}amboung ({S}enegalese coast), were used as case studies. {P}re-existing related {E}copath models were homogenized and ecosystem characteristics were compared based on network indices and trophic spectra analyses. {U}sing the {E}co{T}roph model, we simulated different fishing mortality scenarios and assessed fishing impacts on the three ecosystems. {L}astly, the potential biomass that could be exported from each {MPA} was estimated. {D}espite structural and functional trophic differences, the three {MPA}s showed similar patterns of resistance to simulated fishing mortalities, with the {B}onifacio case study exhibiting the highest potential catches and a slightly inferior resistance to fishing. {W}e also show that the potential exports from our small size {MPA}s are limited and thus may only benefit local fishing activities. {B}ased on simulations, their potential exports were estimated to be at the same order of magnitude as the amount of catch that could have been obtained inside the reserve. {I}n {P}ort {C}ros, the ban of fishing inside {MPA} could actually allow for improved catch yields outside the {MPA} due to biomass exports. {T}his was not the case for the {B}onifacio site, as its potential exports were too low to offset catch losses. {T}his insight suggests the need for {MPA} networks and/or sufficiently large {MPA}s to effectively protect juveniles and adults and provide important exports. {F}inally, we discuss the effects of {MPA}s on fisheries that were not considered in food web models, and conclude by suggesting possible improvements in the analysis of {MPA} efficiency.},
