The Indo-Pacific Red Lionfish (P.volitans) has invaded coral reefs in the Western Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean. This abundant invader has the potential to negatively affect native species through both competition and predation. A native species that may be particularly vulnerable to this invasion is the Nassau grouper (E. striatus) because...
