Introduced species impact United States part of the North Atlantic Ocean (Marine Region) Consumes native species (predator or herbivore) [details]

Introduced species management Bahamas part of the North Atlantic Ocean (Marine Region) This suggests at least some mesophotic populations may represent extensions of natural ontogenetic migrations. Interestingly, despite their shallow focus, in many cases culling programs did not appear to alter abundance between depths. In general, we identify widespread invasive lionfish populations on MCE that could be responsible for maintaining high densities of lionfish recruits despite local shallow-biased control programs. [details]

Introduced species management Bahamas part of the North Atlantic Ocean (Marine Region):
The two culling frequencies we examined therefore seem to offer a poor trade-off between the demonstrated
conservation gains that can be achieved with frequent culling and the economy of time and money realized by infrequent culling. Moreover, stochastic events such as hurricanes can drastically limit the effectiveness of culling efforts. [details]

Introduced species management United States part of the North Atlantic Ocean (Marine Region) Between July 2010 and April 2017, a total
of 6994 Lionfish were removed from the Park, ranging in size from 32 mm to 444 mm total length. The National Park Service (NPS) developed a Lionfish Response Plan, aimed at addressing its impacts in multiple marine parks, that sets forth guidelines for the management of Lionfish within the various NPS units, including collection of Lionfish specimens, cooperation with other entities (e.g., other governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and universities) for research, and education of visitors and the public (McCreedy et al. 2012).

Introduced species remark United States part of the Gulf of Mexico (Marine Region) Despite a substantially greater sampling effort in
2007–2008 [total of 938,126 m3 of water sampled compared to approximately 144,013 m3 (~15%) sampled in 2014–2015], we collected no lionfish larvae in 2007–2008, whereas in 2014–2015, 76 larvae were collected. The overall mean density in 2014–2015 of 0.4–0.7 lionfish larvae 1000 m-3 is comparable to a number of common reef fish families and is likely beginning to have an ecological impact on plankton constituents. [details]

Introduced species remark Bahamas part of the North Atlantic Ocean (Marine Region) Lionfish movement was density dependent, declined at larger body sizes, and depended on seascape structure. Lionfish on continuous reefs moved faster and more often than those on patch reefs, and lionfish in patchy habitats moved farther when patches were closer together. [details]
