Summary

An observational field study was conducted on natural patch reefs with varying lionfish densities to determine if local invasive lionfish density affects lionfish behavior. This dataset contains counts of lionfish present on reefs at the start and end of each reef visit, to get a measure of collective foraging range. The observations took place on natural reefs near Rock Sound, Eleuthera, Bahamas from 16 July to 30 August 2012. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'.
