These fishes have been seen in a wide range of Atlantic marine habitats, including coral reefs, hard bottoms, seagrass meadows, mangroves, and oyster reefs. Sightings in different habitats mean that Indo-Pacific lionfish are found across a wide area, making it difficult to track their expanding numbers. In this research, the scientists wanted to compare the different ways that information is collected about Indo-Pacific lionfish in an area of the Gulf of Mexico.
