Dealt lionfish

My TED talk today is about the invasive aquatic species known as the Lionfish. Also known as Petrois Volitans, it is in the list for both the most invasive species and the top deadliest species in the ocean. This fish doesn't grow that big, the average size is about 1 foot in length, this fish can either red red or black, they have zebra like stripes running down their sides, aswell as many fan like spins along their body. It is currently located at #9 on the list of top deadliest fish in the world. It is also on the list for top most invasive species. This fish first originated in the Indi-Pacific Ocean, where they spread to almost, the whole Globe. They have captured the reefs of the Caribbean and are now eating away at our reefs. They got to the caribbean by one of two theories, they either were brought to the caribbean and americas by placing the eggs in the ballast tanks of ships and then releasing them in the ocean, or they were swept away from an aquarium that was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. This fish although it is very pretty slowly killing the race with limited predators it will capture small juvenile fish into a corner and suck them up with its large vacuum like mouth. Most people do not know how deadly this fishes people of been known to be in agonizing pain after being stung by one of these fish. I know how painful it can be because I've seen many people who have been stuck by small ones and how much pain they are but they're bein know how painful it can be because I've seen many people who have been stuck by small ones and how much pain they were in. In order to care the sting you need to soak the infected area in hot water the hotter the better but don't burn yourself. The only predators to the species are either eels sharks or large groupers, however most of these predators will not go out and kill itself it would have to be dangling out in front of it like a piece of meat. We as a community need to study these fish more and find a way to get rid of their population because even though their numbers are decreasing they are still killing our however most of these predators will not go out and kill itself it would have to be dangling out in front of it like a piece of meat. We as a community need to study these fish more and find a way to get rid of their population because even though their numbers are decreasing they are still killing our reefs and killing the future of our oceans.
