  • The lionfish is the worst invasive species in the world: it destroys biodiversity of its territory, taking up more and more space in the ocean. Lionfishes are the cause of several extinctions. To counter this phenomenon, scientists are starting research programs and exterminating individuals in certain areas.

    Ominous voice: "If a diver gets caught in the current, he'll miss the wreck, and find themselves stranded among the bull sharks that circle the zone", zooming in an awkward sand shark just minding his own bussiness

    Came from aquariums. People let them go. I had one in my tank, but I’d never, ever release one into the ocean where it isn’t native. They didn’t migrate to the Atlantic. The same thing with iguanas, chameleons, and various non-native snake species in Florida that have become a serious problem.

    The Americans releasing their pets put of compassion to the life of one fish, and that act of ignorance destroys an entire ecosystem across a continent. The same old repetitive story. Ignorance is the worst evil.

    I came from a video where they were spearing lionfish and feeding them directly to sharks and eels. I figured they were venomous, soooo?

    i'm sure we, as humans, can over fish the lionfish to endangered or extinct status (or at least in the Atlantic Ocean). Commercialize it into pet food, human food, and find a use for the venom in the spine.

    They have started popping up in the Mediterranean as well. Went diving in greece a couple of weeks ago and saw several.

    Those were sand tiger shark not bull sharks. They are very docile creatures

    The lionfish can be controlled if there are sufficient groupers and wrasses in the Atlantic. Basically any fish (aside from sharks) that is bigger than the lionfish. They eat lionfish. Unfortunately, those fishes are overfished. So if you want to control the lionfish population, deploy more groupers and wrasses in your area. Don't eat them.

    Lionfish is edibles,far more healthy than the junk foods. Just removes the venomous spines.

    All they gotta do is hold monthly competitions and the top 3 who can catch the most lion-fish get money prizes. They can also make lion fish free for anyone to catch without license and at any size. They can also create campaigns on how to prepare and eat lion fish and how to catch. They can also make it so that restaurants who serve over a certain amount of lion fish in a year gets taxed less. Anyways point is, there’s a lot that can be done to stop this invasive species. I believe humans can make any species go extinct with the right regulations.

    I use to catch these fish when fishing off a small bridge near Cape Cod Massachusetts in the 80’s but I was a kid and didn’t know it was an invasive species just had to be careful of the spines

    When I was 12 years old my cousin made deep fry fish it was the most delicious delicious fish I ever eat in my life. That fish was the lion fish. If everyone knows how good lion fish is, there won't be no more lion fish
