Depth-dependent effects of culling—do mesophotic lionfish populations undermine current management?
Invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans and P. miles) have spread widely across the western Atlantic and are recognised as a major threat to native marine biodiversity. Although lionfish inhabit both shallow reefs and mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; reefs from 30-150 m depth), the primary management...
