Comparative behavior of red lionfish Pterois volitans on native Pacific versus invaded Atlantic coral reefs. (2012, background): “Despite local attempts at removal, invasive lionfish have reached local population densities far greater than in their native Pacific (Whitfield et al. 2007, Green & Côté 2008, Kulbicki et al. 2012).”
Non-linear effects of invasive lionfish density on native coral-reef fish communities (2015, background): “Accompanying their rapid range expansion are exponential population growth rates (Albins and Hixon 2013), with lionfish in their invaded range reaching densities of approximately 400 fish/ha, compared to just 26.3 fish/ha in their native range (Green and Côté 2008; Kulbicki et al. 2012).”
Effectiveness of lionfish removal efforts in the Southern Caribbean (2013, methodology): “This method is known to yield similar density and biomass data compared to methods whereby all fish hiding in the reef structure are chemically killed using Rotenone and counted (Kulbicki et al. 2012).”
Effects of invasive Pacific red lionfish Pterois volitans versus a native predator on Bahamian coral-reef fish communities (2012, background): “They are reaching higher densities (nearly five times greater) in the invaded range (Green and Côté 2009) than have been reported from their native Pacific range (Kulbicki et al. 2012).”
Site fidelity and movement patterns of invasive lionfish, Pterois spp., in a Florida estuary (2012, background): “Although lionfish are typically considered reef fish, their presence in an estuary is not surprising given that they are commonly found in nonreef habitats (e.g., turbid bays and estuaries) in their native range (A. Anton, Unpublished results; Kulbicki et al. 2012).”
The Presence of the invasive Lionfish Pterois miles in the Mediterranean Sea (2013, background): “Lionfishes were found abundant in some invaded areas as well asdominating reef fish com - munities (Green & Côté, 2009; Morris & Whitfield, 2009; Kulbicki et al. , 2012).”
