: All procedures were approved by the University of Cambridge Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Body (UBS reference number: OS2021/09). On a daily basis, captive lionfish were examined for signs of stress (e.g. injuries, changes in skin and eye appearance, unusual ventilation rate or posture). Animals did not show any of these signs during the experiment. Lionfish were transported to and from the experimental arena in their housing cages to reduce any stress associated with handling and were not netted again after their initial capture, being gently herded between the experimental arena and the holding cages for trials.
