Summary

A field study was conducted to determine whether territorial aggression from three-spot damselfish (Stegastes planifrons) could limit local populations of invasive lionfish. The investigators observed damselfish behavior in the presence of lionfish relative to when other native fishes were present. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'.
