Abstract in brief

The text discusses the rapid spread of invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans and P. miles) across the Western Atlantic, particularly focusing on their impact on coral reef fish communities near New Providence Island, Bahamas.
Research findings show that as lionfish populations increased between 2004 and 2010, native fish biomass declined by about 65%, especially affecting prey fish species, which decreased significantly in just two years.
This rapid lionfish invasion poses serious threats to the balance and health of Atlantic marine ecosystems, and without prompt control measures, it could lead to long-term negative effects on marine communities and dependent human societies.
