The use of ISSR markers for species determination and a genetic study of the invasive lionfish in Guanahacabibes, Cuba

The red lionfish (Pterois volitans) and devil fire-fish (Pterois miles) are invasive species that pose a threat to the biodiversity and stability of coral reefs in the Western Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. Species identification of lionfish is uncertain in some parts of Cuba, and resea...
