  • This was very interesting. I never knew a lionfish could reproduce so fast and at such a large rate! On another note, I hope that every effort is made to eliminate this fish from the Caribbean. It may mess up the flow of the marine ecosystem.

Description:

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.
