Lionfish Invasion
Every dive we remove #lionfish from our beautiful east coast reefs. #AtlanticOcean

Lionfish, a brightly-colored, spiny fish that are not native to Florida, are taking over our reefs. ... However, while they are beautiful to look at, lionfish are an invasive species, meaning they are not native to Florida.

NOTE: The flesh of the lionfish is not poisonous or venomous. They are a very healthy white meat fish. Easy to cook or eat raw.

Lionfish have 18 venomous spines that are used defensively against predators. These spines should be avoided during capture and handling because of their ability to cause painful injuries. Thirteen long venomous spines are located along the front of the dorsal fin which is located on the top of the fish. Two short venomous spines are located on the pelvic fins (one on each side), which is located on the bottom of the fish closest to the fish’s head. Three additional venomous spines are located along the front edge of the anal fin, which is located on the bottom of the fish nearest the tail. The large and featherlike pectoral fins and the tail fin do not contain venomous spines.

Impacts

Lionfish are a predatory reef fish. They eat native fish, which can reduce native populations and have negative effects on the overall reef habitat and health as they can eliminate species that serve important ecological roles such as fish that keep algae in check on the reefs. Lionfish also compete for food with native predatory fish such as grouper and snapper.
