This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected at Tropical Marine Lab at Lee Stocking Island during deployment LSI_Reef_Surveys_09-12 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2011-07-22 to 2011-07-31. These data include family. These data were collected by Mark Hixon and Tye L. Kindinger of Oregon State University as part of the "Ecological Release and Resistance at Sea: Invasion of Atlantic Coral Reefs by Pacific Lionfish (Lionfish Invasion)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Experiment comparing herbivorous fish grazing at reefs with manipulated lionfish densities.

Dataset Description:
A field experiment was conducted at Lee Stocking Islands, Bahamas from 07/22/2011 to 07/31/2011 to study the grazing activity of herbivorous fishes at reefs with manipulated lionfish ( Pterois volitans ) densities (low and high).

Supplemental Information	Acquisition Description: The grazing rates of herbivorous fishes (bites/time) and the resulting algal loss rates (change in percent cover/time) were measured on paired-by-treatment, algal-covered substrata. At reefs with high lionfish densities, treatments consisted of the presence vs. absence of lionfish in local habitats where algal-covered substrata were distributed. Reefs with low lionfish densities included only the lionfish-absent treatment. Divers counted the number of bites on each replicate sample of algal-covered substratum for each herbivore observed during each of 16 replicate 20-min observation periods per reef. Herbivore behavior was sampled by 4 replicate 60-min automated video observations per reef. Each grazing herbivore was identified to the species-level and its total body length was estimated visually. Changes in percent algal cover were measured from before-after photographs of each replicate substratum using ImageJ.
Purpose	This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
Use Limitations	accessLevel: Public Distribution liability: NOAA and NCEI make no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty.
