Lionfish, beauty or beast?

Tell a Friend Comments (1)
Lionfish are amazing and very poisinous fish. They are a non native species to the eastern hemisphere,originally from Aisa. The Lionfish are always in a competition with the native fish. The big problem with the Lionfish in the Bahamas is that there are too many. The reason for this is because they have no natural preditors,therefore they can reproduce a lot without being disturbed.

What can be done to keep the Lionfish population from growing?

Observe the behavior of the Lionfish, and find something unique that inhibits reproduction of the Lionfish while sparing natural species.

Or, find a behavior or vulnerability specific only to the Lionfish that allows it to be captured or become favorable to natural predators.
