This is a key of all species sampled in the project "Mechanisms and Consequences of Fish Biodiversity Loss on Atlantic Coral Reefs Caused by Invasive Pacific Lionfish."
Species codes in each related dataset are represented as the first two letters of the genus and species. This key includes the scientific and common names for each of those codes.
For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/655195
