Ecological Drivers of Invasive Lionfish (Pterois volitans and Pterois miles) Distribution Across Mesophotic Reefs in Bermuda
Invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans and P.miles) are now ubiquitous throughout the Caribbean and Western Atlantic on shallow and deep reefs.Recent surveys in Bermuda have revealed dense aggregations of lionfish on mesophotic reefs (60 m depth), yet these densities are not pervasive across reefs at this depth.Using diver-led visual surveys of mesoph
