Summary:

This doctoral thesis by Pedro Pablo Chevalier Monteagudo examines the ecological impact of the invasive Indo-Pacific species Pterois volitans (lionfish) on reef fish communities in Cuba. The research focuses on the lionfish's diet, distribution, abundance, and its interactions with native prey and competitors in various Cuban reef ecosystems. Utilizing stomach content analysis of 777 lionfish specimens and visual population surveys, the study reveals that the species has established itself across Cuba's reefs, mangroves, and artificial structures. While the lionfish exhibits a primarily piscivorous diet as it matures, the findings suggest no significant population-level effects on native reef fish species. The work aims to contribute to the broader understanding of invasive species' ecological roles and inform management strategies. The intended audience includes marine biologists, ecologists, and conservationists, particularly those focused on invasive species and reef ecosystem dynamics. Generated by AI.
