Project: Ecological Release and Resistance at Sea: Invasion of Atlantic Coral Reefs by Pacific Lionfish (Lionfish Invasion)

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 counts of small reef fishes (< 50 mm) on the artificial and transplant reefs where the abundances of Nassau grouper were controlled.
