Just thought I'd share this article I found on MSNBC.com. It's talking about how the Red Lionfish is invading Caribbean and Atlantic waters.

If only people would be more responsible.

Maybe importers should encourage fisherman to catch and sell these invaders to the aquarium trade, may take off pressure in their native waters and help solve or control the populations in the non-native waters.

Seems better then killing the fish.

I read in my local paper about this. Because I live on the southern Florida atlantic coast it seems to worry alot of people around here. Thats a great idea to get fishermen to catch and sell them to fish stores. That will definatly ease the demand for lionfish in their natural habitat.
