Spearing Lionfish Shark Attack

[@Iwillbot]

This is some pretty epic footage, sir

[@sirtraineewhat576]

so does the venom in the spine only affect humans or something? Fish never seem to be bothered by eating them. Went snorkeling saw a grouper eat one of these lion fish. They didn't even kill it, the grouper just ate it

[@WhiteGangster400]

SirtraineeWHAT I don't think the toxin affects large fish like that but it does get absorbed into the fish and you might contract some of the toxin if you eat the fish. I think cooking it though gets rid of most of it though. That's why its risky to eat large barracuda.

[@CynicalPanda1017]

The lionfish is venomous, not poisonous. The only place venom is resides in the tips of the spines. It doesn't "absorb" anywhere. If you cut the spines off the entire rest of the fishes flesh is edible as sushi if thats what you want to do, or you can filet and cook it. There is no harmful substances anywhere but the tips of the spines.

[@brrr8904]

WhiteGangster400 no...

[@Harriet1822]

Venomous spines would not have evolved unless they deterred predators. The lionfish that these videos portray act like they have no predators. Whatever controls lionfish in their home range, it probably is not a larger predator.

[@jessedijkstra1220]

it affects all animals, but some species of shark are just to big for the venom to be effective and some groupers and eels learned to avoid the spines

[@flukeman022]

When the shark swam away with the lionshark all other the fish chased after it lol

[@mania563]

how many sharks were they holy shit balls of steel much

[@BlacklistedMCR]

where the bloody hell is this!?!?!? that reef looks incredible

[@Drakeat888]

That grouper is real friendly!

[@GodhandPhemto]

lol at the grouper give chase, like bro u had ur chance.

[@gonzalezliu86]

hahahahaha the shark just took it like it was a snack and swam away like his siblings were going to take it from him. awesome video guys.

[@alexrex20]

do sharks not get stung by the lionfish?

[@freddybob807]

Wow, dude held his breath for exactly a minute. Impressive

[@tehalexy]

Every human should do one minute with a little bit of training .... just train every day a little bit and i bet after a week you get to a minute. the most important part is to be relaxed

[@Minetic]

Shark: well if you don’t want it I’ll take it

[@chimyshark]

Actually it was more of a... YOINK!!!!

[@macstafford2813]

seems like all the fish followed the sharks lol

[@blairsmith4163]

yeah they have spines, they're good to eat once you cut them off though, otherwise you'll get a real nasty sting

[@matalvis]

Wow, not many can say they started a shark feeding frenzy.

[@kerikenning7771]

Paul Clarke, where did this take place? Keri, Reef Environmental Education Foundation

[@macstafford2813]

to us anyway, don't think it hurts the shark other then getting stab by them

[@blairsmith4163]

oh man i bet that shak is regretting that

[@jimjustice581]

My thinking is that the venom really stings and hurts a much larger animal: the human. Therefore, I’m wondering what it does to a smaller critter like a shark or grouper?

[@garryhartshorne7480]

Its in the Exumas, in the Southern Bahamas. One of my favorite places to dive

[@jamesfallon8963]

No most sharks are unaffected by the venoum by a gland in their mouth as with some groupers.

[@jasontman36]

Unfortunately Lionfish are here to stay. Good job on that kill. ....YO!

[@jimjustice581]

I hope it won’t either kill the shark or deter it from eating more.

[@FlowingDepths]

Wow, amazing what goes on in the vast underwater world of the ocean...

[@picksensd]

The poisson won't kill the shark???

[@dionysus122]

+picksensd The Lionfish is venomous, not poisonous. Venom is digestible. Poison is not.

[@jdhhdhdej1854]

yes he wil

[@jessesanders647]

Yes, but the shark could be punctured by the spines quite easily. That is what they are asking.

[@laughingoutloud3713]

ehm so the shark is eating the poison?? 😳😳

[@burnttoast982]

the danger of spearing fish does seem to attract many sharks..look out for those wandering Makos

[@kylemiller7881]

Teaching little sharks what to eat?

[@mosshark]

Grouper wasn't very hungry.

[@macstafford2813]

yes, and venomous

[@Reelcool74]

So awesome!

[@russg1801]

El Tiberon es rey!

[@rcacase]

Great job teach em to eat the lionfish

[@JoeyT80]

wow that shark is gonna suffer lol

[@beaver5197561AH]

thats a lot of sharks lol. and the lionfish is being killed off of the us coast bc they are invasive to our ecosystems.

[@daviddoss1104]

How about shark eats dead lion fish.

[@xyz-sw2cq]

☺️☺️☺️

No se que motivos hay para matar a ese pez León que estaba tranquilo en su hábitat y dárselo de comer a otro animal.

[@billybboby8607]

Well that shark is dead

[@CynicalPanda1017]

Lionfish is comparable to being stung by a wasp. The shark is fine.

[@deannelson9565]

@@CynicalPanda1017 A little understated but more or less correct.

[@S73PHEN]

dead shark lol.

[@jdhhdhdej1854]

poor shark100% died eaven porcupine puffer can die from hes poisen

[@kingbanks9031]

Venom*

[@nickv1559]

Sharks aren't.affected

[@GSP-76]

Lionfish hunting is stupid and a waste of time...the period this could have worked has long passed... training other predators to eat them could help but it will take a long time...and there's the vemon issue on top of that.

[@venturera_]

What's the immediate solution you propose? I mean, if divers just give up and say "Nah man... This is a waste of time" and stop hunting then it will reproduce faster than it actually does, isn't it? (I'm asking seriously, what do you propose, I'm not trying to be rude/mean/sarcastic with the reply)
