Dear listers,

I'm writing to alert you of a study we've just published on the effect
of invasive lionfish control on native reef fish communities in the
Atlantic: http://www.esajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1890/13-0979.1.

Our work 1) looks at whether suppressing lionfish at local scales
results in the recovery and protection of resident prey fishes, and 2)

to which lionfish abundance must be reduced to alleviate predation
effects. The study took place on 24 patch reefs in the Bahamas, each
~150m2and harboring an average of 30 lionfish, where we reduced lionfish
