Spanish term or phrase:el efecto reserva
This is a tour guide.
"El motivo del éxito de las Medas entre los aficionados a la inmersión tiene al menos tres razones de peso. Por un lado, la gran abundancia de peces que, debido al efecto reserva, no se asustan de la presencia humana."
Any ideas, please?
Thanks
Explanation: Does it just mean this, that they don't fear humans because in this place they cannot be fished? Sounds a little strange, fish not being scared by people, but that's what it says...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Owen, yes, that's how I read it too, because its is a reserved area, the fish are not scared of humans -thouhg I would have assumed they would be more scared if they hadn't seen humans before, pero bueno... Thanks!
Explanation: I read long ago in a book by Lobsang Rampa, that in Tibet he made friends with a fish in a lake, and the fish would come to him and let him get hold of it ... and I've never been able to eat fish since!
