21 PRELIMINARY RESULTS 2012

22 PRELIMINARY RESULTS 2012

23 These results indicate that effective control of invading lionfish on areas that have an active diving community, is possible through involvement of this community in local efforts. After less that 2 years from the first sighting, lionfish on Bonaire are approx. 15% smaller and 33% lighter compared to lionfish in Curacao. Bonaire has 2.25 less density than Curacao. STINAPA-BNMP
