This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected at Cape_Eleuthera_Reefs during deployment Eleuthera_Reef_Surveys_2012 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2012-08-09 to 2012-08-31. These data include species and taxon_code. These data were collected by Lillian J Tuttle and Mark Hixon 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 2019-10-28.

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

Cleaner and host species observed on Bahamian reefs under varying experimental conditions

Dataset Description:
Results of an experiment conducted on Bahamian reefs in which clear plastic bottles were placed next to cleaning stations: one containing an invasive lionfish ( Pterois volitans; PTVO), one containing a graysby grouper ( Cephalopholis cruentata ; CECR), and one empty. Cleaner and client species observed during each experimental interval are reported.

Supplemental Information	Acquisition Description: An experiment on Bahamian reefs was conducted in which cleaning stations were observed after placing clear-plastic bottles in random sequence next to the station: one with an invasive lionfish ( Pterois volitans ) inside, one with an ecologically similar native predator (graysby grouper, Cephalopholis cruentata ), and one as an empty bottle control. For many 10-minute intervals at each of 6 cleaning stations, all cleaners and clients within 2 m of the bottle were recorded and their total lengths were estimated (to the nearest cm). The time spent cleaning or being cleaned was also recorded.
Purpose	This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
