Abstract
The lionfish as an invasive species, alter the structure and composition of the biological communities of reef ecosystems, by competing with native species for food and space, modifying the trophic web, displacing native species from their natural habitats and even extinguishing them, causing thus decrease in biodiversity and irreversible ecosystem alterations (MADS, 2012).
