[longknife]

Lionfish, a colorful but venomous striped creature indigenous to the Asian Pacific, is gobbling up prey at a record pace in the deep Atlantic Ocean and drawing the concern of scientists.

Researchers found large populations of lionfish living in water 300 feet deep in the Atlantic during an expedition last month, the Christian Science Monitor reported That's bad news for deep water native fish smaller than the lionfish, Stephanie Green, a post-doctoral associate at Oregon State University Hixon Lab.

Green told the Christian Science Monitor that past studies have shown that some 40 species of fish dropped in number when the lionfish arrived in shallow Atlantic waters.

There was a call to eat them once, but it turns out even the flesh is high in neurotoxins.

Eat lionfish? Sure, but beware of the nasty toxins - NBC News.com

I ain't eating that. Neurotoxins or not..

Seems like Floridians are doing a LOT of pet dumping.. First caymans, then pythons in the Everglades, and now releasing their lionfish at the beach..

The spread of invasive non-native species around the world is a very real problem. Often displacing a more desirable native species with one that has no natural predators in it's new environment. Spread mostly unintentionally by commerce, it is going to be something that we will be dealing with for a couple of centuries.

The family is up watching "shark tank" on TV .. Two entreprenuers are trying to feed the panel lionfish..

Feeble attempt at a market-based "correction" to the error of releasing these devils..

But it COULD become a sushi-bar delicacy.. Impress your date by eating lionfish..

Like BP, bringing oil to US shores for years. LOL
