I appreciate the narrator's attitude. Sounds chill. In regards to non-noxious invasives, personally, I do see removal as at least a tiny net gain in most cases. They may not put heavy strain on resources, but you never know, it could be the difference between a native species making it or not, just based on competition. Plus, we so often only find out how harmful something is in retrospect. It's hard to say if populations of anything might skyrocket, or become disease vectors, or learn to eat a vulnerable species. Exceptions can occur if the foreign species replaces an extinct niche, or if the species is an exceptionally efficient food producer for other species, as that can help to compensate a bit for our constant habitat destruction (but that's usually more of a flora thing) But if it's not labeled as noxious, I wouldn't be mad about leaving it alone, either. Of course, ideal situation to me? Catch it live and see if anyone wants it. Definitely a win for the fish, especially if the individual was a release. Outside of cruel or ignorant handling, most prey animals seem to do well in captivity, with a life of free food and no worries about predators. 'Course that requires having the gear for it.
Awesome i had a moray eel and a lion fish in my salt water tank. The eel has very bad eye sight they can't see very well. Although it never bit me you better treat them with respect they have razor sharp teeth. The lionfish stung me one time and the pain was unbearable. Throwing up throbbing pain sweating just to name a few of the results of getting stung. Unfortunately the ammonia level got to high in my tank and they both died. 😢😢😢
Business idea- buy a bunch of underwater drones and attach some kind of spear gun to it. Allow people to pay to control the drones from their computer to hunt Lionfish.

Why do you say kill fish instead of eat eat fish?
Are you gonna eat a live fish?

people will just kill whatever they want and fuck up the drones
