Invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish Pterois volitans reduce recruitment of Atlantic coral-reef fishes
Open accessAbstract
In this study we explored the species composition, space and temporary variations of the epifauna associated with the \ninvasive species Perna viridis (Asian green mussel) in Cienfuegos Bay. Epifauna was collected by scraping shells surface of 577 P. \nviridis individuals extracted from four sites where greater abundance: the wharves Pablo Guzmán (PG), Siete Cuadras (M7), Punta La \nCueva (PC), and the Barco Hundido (BH). The first three sites were located near to human population establishments while BH was \nrelatively far from such establishments. Barnacles (Cirripedia) were the most important group among sampled epifauna, followed by \nbryozoans and ascidians. Other groups as sponges, anemones, polychaetes, non-sessile crustaceans like brachyurans and anomurans, \nturbellaries, ophiuroids, bivalves and gasthropods, were also represented. A total of 39 species were identified as components of \nepifauna, which coexist naturally with mussels without demonstrating ecosystem affectations or mutual exclusion effects \n(displacement of species). The total biomass values decreased from February to May and increase toward November at all sampling \nsites. Significant differences were found for the main groups of the epifauna when comparing on temporal scale. Total biomass values \nshowed significant differences on spatial scale. BH was the site with less value, only vegetal elements were found. Those differences \ncould be related with anthropogenic impact, which is greater near to human population establishment (Cienfuegos City). The \ninformation providing by this study seems to be against the hypothesis that P. viridis represents an ecological damage in Cienfuegos \nBay at least for the current mussel densities, but it is not enough to reject that hypothesis.

Despite recent studies of potential impacts of lionfish to tropical reef communities in the Bahamas, impacts to warm-temperate hard bottom reefs of the Southeast US Atlantic Ocean remain unknown.
“Despite recent studies of potential impacts of lionfish to tropical reef communities in the Bahamas (Albins & Hixon 2008, Morris & Akins 2009, Cote & Maljkoviç 2010), impacts to warm-temperate hard bottom reefs of the Southeast US Atlantic Ocean remain unknown.”

Lionfish are capable of reducing reef fish recruitment by 79% from experimental patch reefs.
“Bahamian studies documented lionfish at 5 to 177 times higher densities than in their native range (Grubich et al. 2009), capable of reducing reef fish recruitment by 79% from experimental patch reefs, and preying mostly on fishes (78% by volume), including 41 species from 21 families (Albins & Hixon 2008, Green & Cote 2009, Morris & Akins 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
