<div><p>This sub-project aimed to compare native vs. invasive populations of lionfish, in order to assess some of the potential factors responsible for the invasive success of lionfish in the Atlantic. Assessment in the native range included analysis of behaviour and juvenile growth patterns, at two general locations: Guam and the Philippines. Behaviour was assessed via 10-minute observations on inividual lionfish, aiming to assess different individuals and their hunting behaviour as well as interactions with other species at different times of the day. Observations were done wherever lionfish were found, and included artificial habitats, coral reefs, sandy areas and reef channels with rock/boulder habitat. Observations in the native range were then compared to those at invaded locations (Bahamas and Caymans) undertaken with identical methods by other members of the team. Data were QA/QCd by spot checking against original field data sheets.</p>
<p>Lengthy notes/comments extracted from dataset are below. Indicated by 'see_Note_x' in the data.</p>

Aggrssn_at_Note_2 = 2X P.antennata;flaring fins & moving to defend;1 against lrgr PTVO(27cm) that it encntrd looking for diff spot;got it out of its hole & occupied hole<br />
Aggrssn_at_Note_3 = Parrotfish large darting by; lion reacted by flaring spines defensively</p>
<p>------------------------<br /><strong>Notes in killed_species column:</strong><br />
Killed_sp_Note_1 = Invert maybe;not seen;definite action under boat while upsidedown amongst algae overgrowth<br />

<p>------------------------<br /><strong>Notes in aggressive_species column:</strong><br />
Agg_sp_Note_1 = PTVO smaller size (13) approached with flared fins trying to get a hunting spot<br />
Agg_sp_Note_2 = PTVO smaller size approached it with flared fins and kept staring at it;no close approach but enought to cause this animal to move away and stop rest. This PTVO was observed by Brett Taylor, line 39<br />
Agg_sp_Note_3 = Ptvo larger 37 cm; kept displacing this one from its position<br />
Agg_sp_Note_4 = Ptvo larger 37 cm; displaced it from its position<br />
Agg_sp_Note_5 = PTAT 10cm moved voli from its spot</p>
<p>-----------------------------------<br /><strong>Notes in location column:</strong><br />
Loc_Note_1 = 260 deg from mooring / 270 deg from x-mas tree / 310 deg over little mushroom<br />
Loc_Note_2 = 10 deg from ally with mallet head on right / mallet head is 235 deg from x-mas tree<br />
Loc_Note_3 = 80 deg to triple head (?) boundary ~10 m/past other 2 300 deg to lion ledge/ 3 fan rock<br />
Loc_Note_4 = New head across alley from flag 290/300 to Lion ledge (closer to lion ledge)<br />
Loc_Note_5 = Near Goniopora field;Under plate of coral at cleaning stn being cleaned by a blue&yell wrasse w straight caudal fin<br />
Loc_Note_6 = On table Porites rus at the northernmost part of the dive; towards Love Rock; next to previous<br />
Loc_Note_7 = On table Porites rus at the northernmost part of the dive; towards Love Rock<br />
Loc_Note_8 = Under ledge of almost dead skirt like coral w no bumps;not P.rus;reddish color;looks like P. asteroides in Caribbn<br />
Loc_Note_9 = Massive semi dead;under larger volitans;moved & sat next to the big guy & repositioned itself<br />
Loc_Note_10 = On Boulder;Non Coral;undrneath & close to PTVO 32cm;ended next to big guy;at cleaning stn at branching Porites<br />
Loc_Note_11 = At boulder;non-coral;next to Prus cleaning colony;another PTVO under it in silt</p>
<p>-----------------------<br /><strong>Notes in body_orientation column:</strong><br />
Body_Note_1 = Upright and exposed but upon approach kept running away and tucking itself more and more until ended up in cave with only pectorals and tail seen<br />
Body_Note_2 = Area w sm colonies of Pocillopora & recruit Chromis;vertcl position;under boat canopy;recently fallen;couldnt find lttle guy;kept envrnmnt dark & kept opening&closing space<br />
Body_Note_3 = On top of massive boulder w somewhat live coral;horizntl position;next to darker phase volitans almost touching each other<br />
Body_Note_4 = Under sm ledge near bottm facing wall vertically;diff place than othr times;but same head<br />

Behavioral observations of lionfish at native Pacific and invaded Atlantic locations.
<div><p>Behavioral observations of lionfish, with a focus on hunting activity throughout the day, at native Pacific (Guam and the Philippines) vs. invasive Atlantic locations (Bahamas and Caymans) to assess possible differences between ranges. Particular emphasis was placed on species hunted, time spent hunting and total numbers of kills and strikes. The investigators hypothesized that lionfish at invaded locations would have higher success at killing prey and spend less time hunting.</p>
