Female population of Eleuthera slipped by 3.82% from 4,132 persons in 1980 to 3,974 persons in 1990. Since the 4.18% improve in 1970, female population jumped by 5.50% in 1990.

7.826 (persons) in 2010.

3.974 (persons) in 1990.

4.019 (persons) in 1990.

Voraciously consuming small native coral-reef fishes, including the juveniles of fisheries and ecologically important species, the invader has undergone a population explosion that now ranges from the U.S. southeastern seaboard to the Gulf of Mexico and across the greater Caribbean region. The PI's past research determined that invasive lionfish (1) have escaped their natural enemies in the Pacific (lionfish are much less abundant in their native range); (2) are not yet controlled by Atlantic predators, competitors, or parasites; (3) have strong negative effects on populations of native Atlantic fishes; and (4) locally reduce the diversity (number of species) of native fishes. The lionfish invasion has been recognized as one of the major conservation threats worldwide. The Bahamas support the highest abundances of invasive lionfish globally. This system thus provides an unprecedented opportunity to understand the direct and indirect effects of a major invader on a diverse community, as well as the underlying causative mechanisms. The PI will focus on five related questions: (1) How does long-term predation by lionfish alter the structure of native reef-fish communities? (2) How does lionfish predation destabilize native prey population dynamics, possibly causing local extinctions? (3) Is there a lionfish-herbivore-seaweed trophic cascade on invaded reefs? (4) How do lionfish modify cleaning mutualisms on invaded reefs? (5) Are lionfish reaching densities where natural population limits are evident? projects_0_end_date=2016-07 projects_0_geolocation=Three Bahamian sites: 24.8318, -076.3299; 23.8562, -076.2250; 23.7727, -076.1071; Caribbean Netherlands: 12.1599, -068.2820 projects_0_name=Mechanisms and Consequences of Fish Biodiversity Loss on Atlantic Coral Reefs Caused by Invasive Pacific Lionfish projects_0_project_nid=561017 projects_0_project_website=http://hixon.science.oregonstate.edu/content/highlight-lionfish-invasion projects_0_start_date=2012-08 sourceUrl=(local files) standard_name_vocabulary=CF Standard Name Table v55 version=2 xml_source=osprey2erddap.update_xml() v1.3
