©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Cleaner and host species observed on Bahamian reefs under varying experimental conditions in Eleuthera, Bahamas in 2012 (Lionfish Invasion project).
Results of an experiment conducted on Bahamian reefs in which clear plastic bottles were placed next to cleaning stations: one containing an invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans; PTVO), one containing a graysby grouper (Cephalopholis cruentata; CECR), and one empty. Cleaner and client species observed during each experimental interval are reported.
