Lionfish Invaders Are Eating Up Other Marine Life
in Florida Keys, Bahamas and Bermuda.
“The lionfish is a voracious predator and it eats a lot!
... over 50 species of other reef fish have been found in lionfish stomachs
(plus) a whole octopus.” - Lad Atkin, REEF
If attacked, the carnivorous lionfish delivers a potent venom via its needle-like dorsal fins.
Its sting is extremely painful to humans and can cause nausea and breathing difficulties,
but is rarely fatal. Average lifetime in wild: 15 years. A lionfish will often spread its
feathery pectoral fins and herd small fish into a confined space where it
can more easily swallow them. Photograph by NOAA.

Many environmental concerns affect the Caribbean, such as deforestation in Haiti or overdevelopment in Jamaica. In the sea, an invasive species called lionfish began as eight or nine loose pets and are now taking over the islands. They threaten not only native fish, but the fishing and eco-tourism industries in South Florida and the Caribbean as well. We discuss the lionfish and the creative ways being employed to reduce their population
