I would like to personally thank you for your efforts in eradicating the Lionfish . We here in Florida who are native to the state have been over whelmed with invasive fish and reptiles which are not native to our area and are harming our environment greatly. I refer to Lionfish, Burmese Pythons, Iguanas and most recently Tegus Lizards along with many others. Thanks for the video even though it sickens me to see this many Lionfish in one area.

This may sound like dumb question, but why don't they just poke them and leave them there? Wouldn't they be able to kill them much faster that way? I know they do research on them and also eat them, but besides those 2 reasons...

When it is possible,try to feed them to large Groupers,Cuddas,and Black-tips or other Sharks.....They eat them like pop-corn...!!!...But predators do not see them as fish,but more like a "floating-sea plant",I had two Cuddas once next to me,on a dive,and every time,I shot one of these suckers I fed them(kept the large ones for me)and they loved it,I felt like I had my two dogs with me.......They knew,I was feeding them/no charge...!!!!!.....Most predators do not recognize Lion-fish as food,the invasion was fast,and they do not look like fish really,so we got to teach them.......For a large Grouper or Cudda,their spikes are like tooth-picks......!!!!!!!!...And the meat for us is fantastic..........

isnt the lionfish part of aquatic ecosystem?
@ITUMBLE4U6 жыл бұрын
YariNaKayo It is a native fish from half way around the globe, introduced into the Florida ecosystem, unfortunately, some think in the late 90s. It has no natural predators in this part of the world and is a voracious eater, wiping out naturally occurring bait fish on the reefs.
@robschumann96655 жыл бұрын
Every lionfish that has been wild caught in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico can be traced back to 1 of 8 original fish believed to have been set loose from an aquarium around the Miami area some time in the late 80’s. They have no natural predators and can lay up to 30,000 eggs at a time. They also have been found at depths below 1000 ft. 1 person who cared more about his “pets” than the possible damage that can be done single handedly released the poster species for invasive animals. They will never be eradicated and if they are not somehow brought under control soon they will be the only reef fish Caribbean snorkelers and divers ever get to see. The local fishing economy will be destroyed and who knows how many native fish will go extinct. People please think about the environment before doing anything that could effect it. No matter how small of an effect you think you will have.

Just like laying a battle map in the ground and going Alpha team your going to cover this 1000 meter grid and Bravo team right next to them is this reef . If you run into thousands of the terrorist them come up and will call for paradrop if another team for insertition .

@charlesmartel34256 жыл бұрын
How do you know if you killed them? Did you see the one he hit like 5 times and speared 3 times? It was still swimming off despite having multiple spear points thrust through its sides. Lion fish will survive with puncture wounds unless you hit the spine and wreck their swim bladders. The safer bet is to take them to the surface, sell them in markets, and get more people interested in eating them. The best way to get rid of these fish is to create a market for them in individuals who will never strap on a scuba tank.
