This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected at Cape_Eleuthera_Reefs, Cayman_Islands, and Tropical Marine Lab at Lee Stocking Island during deployments Cayman_Reef_Surveys_10-11, Eleuthera_Reef_Surveys_2012, and LSI_Reef_Surveys_09-12 at Eleuthera, Bahamas; Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas; Little Cayman Island from 2009-01-01 to 2015-12-31. These data include common_name, species, and taxon. These data were collected by Dr Mark Hixon of University of Hawaii as part of the "Mechanisms and Consequences of Fish Biodiversity Loss on Atlantic Coral Reefs Caused by Invasive Pacific Lionfish (BiodiversityLossEffects_lionfish)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.
