@@Intranetusa Fish living in cold environments are parasitized too. It’s gross, but if you eat a raw fish that has, say, roundworms in its flesh, you’re just eating some roundworm. You won’t be hurt by it or infected, as their reproduction occurs in the fish’s digestive tract. The only fish you want to avoid eating raw are freshwater fish. Many are intermediate hosts for trematodes (flukes) whose larvae CAN infect you if you eat them.

Share the video Also, if you didn’t know, (this message is for unbelievers but those who know Christ can read it too), Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :) “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13 KJV “and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Mark 1:15 KJV If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on KZbin and a KZbin channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and *he will.* God Bless :)

Imagine the damage that just a few irresponsible people did to so many others by dumping their lionfish into the ocean. Once you let any exotic species into a new area for the pet trade, consumption, or other reasons, it's only a question of when (not if) some will escape and start to breed. It's pointless to assume all people will be responsible or accidents won't take place. We've seen this with carp, snakehead fish, armored catfish and many other species of animals and plants too. Once they become established, there is no means to fully remove them.
