Looks like the lionfish discussion will continue for time. Courtenay
wonders, "if that source has stopped." One could start by
investigating the huge aquarium in the Atlantis hotel on Paradise
Island. They filter the water coming in but my sources say they do
not filter the water going out. These fish are huge egg producers.
Also, it might be useful to feed dead lionfish to snappers and
groupers in a caged area and see if they are affected in a negative
way. Regardless, They are here to stay. Gene
