Not quite, Jud did a ecological survey in 2011 and followed-up with experimental tests of the ability of Lionfish to tolerate a range of salinity. This was published in February 2014: "Broad salinity tolerance in the invasive lionfish Pterois spp. may facilitate estuarine colonization"[1]. Arrington Snr is not an author on this later manuscript, but was presumably aware of the work. http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10641-014-0242-y http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10641-014-0242-y
