Abstract:
The lionfish has venomous spines. It eats everything. It reproduces at a staggering rate, and it has few known predators. Spotted off the North Carolina Coast in August 2000, it is the first marine invasive fish to have established itself in Atlantic waters. Maurer describes attempts to kill as many lionfish as possible using scuba divers in North Carolina waters.
