Default Lion Fish in the Atlantic



Yea right you "Discovered"...You really did not discover a dam thing
Kurt, you "found out" about them..........big ****ing difference in
finding out and discovering anything. Your tooo freaking stupid to
know what is what thats why you hang in this useless group to suck up
any tidbits of info thrown out by folks passing through, certianly not
good crap form those that always inhabit this god foresaken group of
babbling idiots!

I discovered that lion fish have established themselves in the atlantic.
Apparently, enough escaped to form a colony to start breeding and a few
have gotten large. I suppose some aquarist decided to release them.

The speer fishermen have been destroying them on site, and the local
reef research team has been starting to track sightings to determine
their prevalence.

Just curious if there would be a market for them if caught. I checked
on the venom and there don't seem to be any known/reported deaths and
it's easily treated with a hot pack.
