[Coral-List] Great news from México to help to control the lionfish invasion in the Caribbean

[Osmar Luiz]

A recent publication in Conservation Letters analyses critically the marketing for consumption as a strategy to control invasion invasion...  The authors apparently don't strongly deny the action but it is definitively a call for caution when adopting the practice.

I can send a PDF for those who are interested.
