Through The Porthole
Lionfish ( Pterois )

The Lionfish is a flourishing invasive species in U.S. Southeast and Caribbean coastal waters. They have the potential to harm reef ecosystems because they are a top predator that competes for food and space with over fished native stocks such as snapper and grouper.

Although it is highly unlikely that lionfish will ever be eradicated from their invaded range, it is very possible that local populations can be controlled and their impacts minimized simply by adding it to the menu.
