No change in key reef fish herbivores or reef fisher yields in Barbados a decade after the lionfish invasion

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: Feb. 20, 2025

Red lionfish, Pterois volitans, a non-native marine species with potential to cause significant damage Caribbean coral reefs, reached Barbados in late 2011. In 2012, before lionfish became locally established, fish surveys at ten reef sites were undertaken every four months over year generate baseline data. Fisher catch also two main landing twice year. A decade later, all repeated the same sites. Post-invasion biomass was low across most and increased site depth, likely due fishing. comparison of selected key herbivores high ecological commercial importance (parrotfishes surgeonfishes) forage groups (damselfishes wrasses) pre- post-invasion indicated no detectable effects on wrasses, although damselfish did decline increases. We found evidence fisher rates, suggesting negative impacts earnings. Furthermore, composition remained virtually unchanged for trap fishers, while had become an important component spearfishers. Overall, our results suggest that control through sustained fishing effectively protects might indirectly benefit reefs release pressure native fishes by spearfishers now targeting lionfish.

Microbiota dynamics in lionfish (Pterois): insights into invasion and establishment in the Mediterranean Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16

Published: April 2, 2025

Lionfishes (Pterois spp.), originally native to the Indo-Pacific and Red Sea, have become one of most invasive marine species globally, including recent establishment in Mediterranean Sea. This study investigates microbiota lionfish explore its potential role their invasion success establishment. Using high-throughput sequencing analyses, we characterized species-specific core microbiome identified habitat-specific markers across different regions (Red Caribbean, aquarium populations) organs. Focusing on invasion, tracked distribution population dynamics along Israeli coastline from 2017 2023, monitoring size, seasonal trends, depth preferences. Our findings reveal that initially established themselves deeper waters before expanding shallower habitats, with a gradual increase size body length over time. From microbial aspect, compared organs similar pattern (Photobacterium), Earlier Lessepsian migrants fish species. provides novel insights into interactions between host ecology, shedding light mechanisms may support successful invasion. contributes understanding Mediterranean.

Incidental capture and diversity of Elasmobranchii and Teleostei caught by red snapper and lobster fisheries in the Great Amazon Reef System

Acta Amazonica, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 55

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

ABSTRACT The Great Amazon Reef System is one of the least known mesophotic environments on Atlantic coast northern South America, threatened by oil and gas exploration projects explored different industrial fisheries. Here, we provide first inventory cartilaginous bony fishes captured fisheries red snapper lobster in Amazonian System, including a list species with ecological conservation information, addition to biogeographic considerations. A total 143 were recorded, 17 elasmobranchs 126 teleosts. specimen likely representing hybrid between Cephalopholis fulva furcifer (Serranidae) was also recorded. Community ecology descriptors employed explore diversity patterns fishing gears. Our results highlight relevance monitoring fishery activities enhance knowledge biodiversity poorly sampled areas understanding local impacts human activities.

Lionfish (Pterois miles) in the Mediterranean Sea: a review of the available knowledge with an update on the invasion front

NeoBiota, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 92, P. 233 - 257

Published: April 25, 2024

Invasive species often severely impact ecosystems and human activities in the areas that they invade. The lionfishes Pterois miles P. volitans are regarded as most successful invasive fishes marine ecosystems. In last 40 years, these Indo-Pacific predators have established tropical western Atlantic Ocean, with well-documented detrimental effects on local fish communities. Around 10 years ago, a second invasion began Mediterranean Sea, which is being colonised by . Given potential of fact ecology biodiversity temperate/sub-tropical Sea offer different setting from Atlantic, specific knowledge this needed. Here, we: (i) review scientific available lionfishes, (ii) discuss such context (iii) suggest future research avenues Sea. addition, we an update spread While history development resolved some mitigation plans been implemented locally, study interactions their its infancy.

Genetic diversity patterns of lionfish in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean reveal a rapidly expanding stepping-stone bioinvasion process

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(1)

Published: Aug. 18, 2023

In 2020, multiple lionfish (Pterois spp.) records along the equatorial Southwestern (SW) Atlantic revealed a new expansion of these potentially damaging invasive populations, which could impact over 3500 km Brazilian coastline next few years, as well unique ecosystems and marine protected areas in its path. To assess taxonomic status, invasion route, correlation with other centres distribution, we investigated genetic diversity patterns caught 2022 at Amazonia, Northeastern Brazil, Fernando de Noronha Rocas Atoll ecoregions, using two molecular markers, mitochondrial COI nuclear S7 RP1. The data indicate that all studied belong to what is generally accepted P. volitans, share same signature present Caribbean Sea. shared haplotypes alleles SW derives from an active movement adult individuals Sea into coast. Amazon mesophotic reefs likely served stepping-stone overcome biogeographical barrier represented by Amazon-Orinoco River plume. New found for RP1 suggest onset local diversification, heightening environmental risks this bioinvasion heads towards South ecoregions.
