©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Results of manipulative field study and controlled lab experiment on growth rates of juvenile lionfish on reefs with controlled abundances of Nassau grouper; Bahamas, 2010.
The investigators examined the interactions between invasive lionfish and native Nassau grouper using both a manipulative field study and a controlled lab experiment. This dataset, resulting from the field study, contains growth rates of juvenile lionfish (20-140 mm) on reefs with controlled abundances of native Nassau grouper.
