Biological invasion of the Indo-Pacific lionfish Pterois volitans along the Atlantic coast of North America
Open accessAbstract
The occurrence of lionfish Pterois volitans is reported from the western Atlantic Ocean.Adults were collected off the coasts of North Carolina, Georgia and Florida, and juveniles were collected along the shore of Long Island, New York.They have also been found around Bermuda.Lionfish are indigenous to tropical waters of the western Pacific and their occurrence along the east coast of the United States represents a human-induced introduction.Distribution of adults suggests lionfish are surviving in the western Atlantic and capture of juveniles provides putative evidence of reproduction.The most likely pathway of introduction is aquarium releases, but introduction via ballast water cannot be ruled out.The ecosystem of the southeastern United States continental shelf is already undergoing change: reef fish communities are becoming more tropical and many fish species are overfished.These ongoing changes, along with limited information regarding the biology of P. volitans, make predictions of long-term effects of the introduction difficult.This discovery represents the first, apparently successful introduction, of a marine fish from the western Pacific to Atlantic coastal waters of the United States.

“Further, the incongruence between the inshore distribution of lionfish in their native range and their primarily offshore distribution in their introduced range could be a result of temperature-limited distribution during winter (Whitfield et al. 2002).”

“Although limited in a zoogeographic sense, the spread of lionfish along the entire southeast United States continental shelf occurred quickly; the area of thermally appropriate habitat was occupied within the scale of 1 to 10 yr (Whitfield et al. 2002, Hare & Whitfield 2003).”

In the citing paper
“Native to the subtropical and tropical regions of the South Pacific, Indian Ocean, and the Red Sea, lionfish are venomous predators whose popularity in the aquarium trade may have contributed to their introduction to Atlantic waters (Whitfield et al. 2002, Semmens et al. 2004, Ruiz-Carus et al. 2006).”

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.
