Mitochondrial control region sequence analyses indicate dispersal from the US East Coast as the source of the invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish Pterois volitans in the Bahamas (2009, background): “…Fisheries and Habitat Research, 101 Pivers Island Road, Beaufort, NC 38516-9722, USA C.

Worst case scenario: potential long-term effects of invasive predatory lionfish (Pterois volitans) on Atlantic and Caribbean coral-reef communities (2011, background): “Lionfish in the Bahamas are also infected by very low levels of endo-and ecto-parasites that commonly infect native fishes inhabiting the same reefs (Morris et al. 2009; Sikkel et al. in prep.)”
Distributions of Indo-Pacific lionfishes Pterois spp. in their native ranges : implications for the Atlantic invasion (2012, background): “Although the invasion is rapidly expanding, information on the biology and ecology of lionfishes in their Indo-Pacific range is still largely anecdotal (Morris et al. 2009, Morris & Whitfield 2009).”
Larval duration of the lionfish, Pterois volitans along the Bahamian Archipelago (2010, background): “The chronology of this expansion is summarized by Schofield (2009), who noted that viable populations are now found from parts of the Caribbean to North Carolina, USA with juveniles found as far north as Massachusetts, USA.”
