It means a fish sanctuary — an area in the ocean that, by government action, is protected against fishing and other kinds of commercial use, so that the marine life there can be undisturbed by people.

Reserve, in this context, is a place set aside for special use. It could really be one or the other. If the area is set aside by a government or an agency it is most likely a "sanctuary". If it is not specifically being protected then it is "stock".
