Abstract

Experimental results describing the maximum distances at which Stegastes planiforms attacked Pterois volitans and native predators in the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas during 2011

Maximum distances at which Atlantic territorial three spot damselfish (Stegastes planiforms) attacked native groupers, grunts, surgeonfish, and Pacific red lionfish (Pterois volitans) in the Bahamas and Cayman Islands. Habitats of damselfish territories are also described.
