Abstract

Results of experimental field studies, in the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, and Philippines, assessing susceptibility of red lionfish (Pterois volitans) to parasitic gnathiid isopods in both native and introduced ranges in 2009-2011.

Results of experimental field studies assessing the susceptibility of red lionfish (Pterois volitans) to parasitic gnathiid isopods in both the native Pacific and introduced Atlantic ranges. Experiments were conducted at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas; Little Cayman, Cayman Island; and Negros Islands, Philippines from 2009 to 2011.
