Lionfish Invasive Species

What is an invasive species? An "invasive species" is a species that is non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem it occupies and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm, or harm to human health.

Where do they originate? It is the lionfish, a native to coral reefs in the tropical waters of the South Pacific and Indian Oceans.

How did they get here? (Theories) Reportedly, six lionfish were accidentally released in Biscayne Bay, Florida, when a beachside aquarium or nursery broke open during Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Unwanted pets released Gulf Stream

Anatomy of a Lionfish The lionfish's sharp, slender spines are located on the dorsal, anal, and pelvic fins. A venom gland is located at the base of each spine. After the fish's spine punctures the victim's skin, the venom travels up a groove in the spine and into the wound. Although not fatal to humans, the spines can deliver a painful sting, as well as cause headache, vomiting, and respiratory distress.
