DNA barcoding of invasive lionfish diet in the northern Gulf of Mexico, 2013-03-30 to 2014-03-08

Lionfish were captured from various locations in the northern Gulf of Mexico from natural and artificial reefs during 2013-03-30 to 2014-03-08. Diet data were collected and analyzed using visual identification and DNA barcoding analyses. This dataset supports the publication: Dahl, K.A., Patterson, W.F., Robertson, A.E., & Ortmann, A.C. (2017). DNA barcoding significantly improves resolution of invasive lionfish diet in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. Biological Invasions, 19, 1917-1933. doi:10.1007/s10530-017-1407-3蓑鲉（Lionfish）采集自墨西哥湾北部多个区域的天然与人工鱼礁，采样时段为2013年3月30日至2014年3月8日。本数据集的摄食数据通过视觉鉴定与DNA条形码（DNA barcoding）分析方法完成采集与分析。本数据集为下述已发表学术论文提供数据支撑：Dahl, K.A.、Patterson, W.F.、Robertson, A.E. 与 Ortmann, A.C.（2017）：《DNA条形码技术显著提升墨西哥湾北部入侵性蓑鲉食性解析精度》，刊载于《Biological Invasions》（生物入侵）2017年第19卷，页码范围1917-1933，DOI：10.1007/s10530-017-1407-3。
