The average lionfish eats 60,000 reef fish before it is 2 years - TopicsExpress



          

The average lionfish eats 60,000 reef fish before it is 2 years old and has no natural predator so this species is killing the reef fish and sea life in unprecedented numbers. For this reason there are programs in place for professional divers to kill lionfish. Normally, they are killed with a spear gun and fed to other fish but this article claims that it is creating aggressive behaviour towards divers and should be stopped. Lionfish cullers are urged to take their catch out of the water and take advantage of restaurants currently buying the fish instead of killing them and feeding them to other fish. compasscayman/caycompass/2013/07/30/Hunters-warned-not-to-feed-lionfish-to-predators/#.UfeCO2YwVnQ.facebook
