Abstract

Data on lionfish juvenile growth patterns from tagged lionfish in the Bahamas, Guam, and Philippines from 2009-2012.

Data on lionfish tagged for an assessment of juvenile growth patterns in the native Pacific (Guam and the Philippines) vs. invasive Atlantic (Bahamas and Caymans). Data from the Cayman Islands are in separate dataset: see the comparative lionfish growth - Caymans dataset.
