Counts of small reef fishes taken by census at artificial and transplant reefs at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas in 2010 (Lionfish Invasion project)

<p>The investigators examined the interactions between invasive lionfish and native Nassau grouper using both a manipulative field study and a controlled lab experiment. This dataset, resulting from the field study, contains counts of small reef fishes (&lt; 50 mm) on the artificial and transplant reefs where the abundances of Nassau grouper were controlled.</p>
