Predatory fish invaders: Insights from Indo-Pacific lionfish in the western Atlantic and Caribbean (2013, background): “…suggests that relatively small lionfish occupy small home ranges and are highly sedentary: three-quarters of the small (625 cm TL) lionfish tagged along the shore of an estuarine river in Florida had moved less than 10 m from their tagging locations after 30 days at liberty (Jud and Layman, 2012).”
Effectiveness of lionfish removal efforts in the Southern Caribbean (2013, background): “5) although previous studies (Fishelson 1975, Biggs & Olden 2011, Jud et al. 2011, Jud & Layman 2012) have found lionfish to prefer complex landscapes in a variety of marine habitat types.”
Coping with the Lionfish Invasion: Can Targeted Removals Yield Beneficial Effects? (2012, background): “Furthermore, a tag and recapture study in Florida indicated that high site fidelity may represent a common behavior for lionfish (Jud and Layman, 2012).”
