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

A field experiment was conducted on artificial patch reefs to test for presence of density dependence in invasive red lionfish (Pterois volitans) recruitment, immigration, loss, and growth (in mass and length). See also: list of lionfish recruits and immigrants (PDF) that appeared on the study reefs during the experiment.
