| Title: | Predators observed at reefs near Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas from 2009-2012 (Lionfish Invasion project) (NCEI Accession 0278121) |
| Abstract: | 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 2011-07-11 to 2011-08-31. These data include species and taxon_code. These data were collected by Kurt Ingeman 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 2019-10-31. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Predators observed at reefs near Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas Dataset Description: Record of predators observed during reef surveys at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas during July and August 2011. (Part of sub-project titled, "Lionfish effects on fairy basslet population dynamics".) To quantify to what extent patterns in prey mortality have changed since the arrival of lionfish, the investigators replicated an in situ field manipulation of prey density that was originally conducted prior to the invasion using the same study sites. A controlled field experiment was conducted at two reefs near Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas, inhabited by 16 local populations of fairy basslet: eight with artificially enhanced recruitment versus eight with natural recruitment. Ledges were paired by habitat structure and one ledge from each pair was randomly assigned to receive artificially increased density of new basslet recruits, with the other in each pair left as a control. |
