Abstract

Results of a controlled lab experiment investigating consumption of bridled gobies by lionfish at the Tropical Marine Lab at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas in 2011.

During the summer of 2011, investigators examined the effects of lionfish predation on bridled goby populations through both a manipulative field experiment and a controlled lab experiment. This dataset includes results obtained from the controlled lab experiment. The lab experiments were conducted at the Lobster Lab at the Perry Institute for Marine Science on Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas.
