Results of field experiment testing for density dependence in lionfish growth, immigration, recruitement, and loss; conducted at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas in 2011 (Lionfish Invasion project)

<p>A field experiment was conducted on artificial patch reefs to test for presence of density dependence in invasive red lionfish (<em>Pterois volitans</em>) recruitment, immigration, loss, and growth (in mass and length). <strong>See also</strong>: <a href=\"http://dmoserv3.whoi.edu/data_docs/Lionfish_Invasion/Benkwitt_Recruitment_and_Immigration.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">list of lionfish recruits and immigrants</a> (PDF) that appeared on the study reefs during the experiment.</p>
