Notice there's no small reef fish swimming around just an area infested with lionfish. I'm happy they are considered good tasting so they won't go to waste
@@nullnull7352 I have fished and eaten many of those. My brother told me they taste better than many other fish he ate before! During fishing, we should be careful with their poisonous spines! (you can easily see their position, on google images) 😉
Yes they are.. that makes all the US money pouring in to Australian politics to protect US invasive species here so evil and fucked up. take ya feral horses and ya foxes and your dirty money and fuck off
@@redhaze8080 who pissed in your drink, he’s telling them that they’re doing a good job and you have to bring politics into this. Shut ya fucking mouth.
good job everyone 👏🏻 I’m a diver , and every single one of those things culled from our waters will make a big difference. I really wish we as a community of divers could get together and designate several days a year as a lionfish cull day. Make a day out of it. Bring awareness. Barbecue and have fun and get those things off of our reefs!
There is so much to do to help our oceans. I can't do much about it except try and pick up garbage and trash I see lazily tossed on the ground. But I think if there is two parties. One that cleans the world above and another taking on the ocean. We can truly make a change
Great job all around. The only problem is that search and destroy hunts like this one have to be conducted every day by hundreds of similarly equipped boats. I know that you took 60 lbs of these killers but the same reef that you cleaned will be repopulated by foraging LF within days. Keep up the good work and for those uninformed morons who objected to this video, kindly keep your mouth shut.
@ Doing me: You hated that fish? Are you a little child or only a little fool. You should rather hate the humans, that caused this problem. Where they belong to - coral reefs in the Red Sea, Pacific and the Indo-Pacific, they aren't a problem for the eco system. Where they are invasive, they are a problem and must be removed from that eco system... it's that simple, actually understandable even for people with lower intelligence!
Great video! I plan on starting this summer, do you have any big tips or words of caution? I know to avoid the spines of the lionfish, but my fiancé and I worry more about sharks getting interested.
Imagine just being a lion fish chilling with your buddies in a reef you conquered and suddenly a boat comes overhead and a bunch of divers with spears drop down hell divers style and start stabbing all your friends.😂 Keep up the good work guys
@ Van Poll: That is a big bullshit and a stupid generalizing statement. Are you a little child or only a little foolb? Where they belong to - coral reefs in the Red Sea, Pacific and the Indo-Pacific, they aren't a problem for the eco system. Where they are invasive, they are a problem and must be removed from that eco system... it's that simple!
What eats Lion Fish? and wouldn't going after the eggs be a better idea? learning how they nest their eggs going after those? that could control in the thousands.
Unfortunately they don't make nests = females simply dump 50,000 eggs into the surrounding water every 3-4 days, which the males release clouds of sperm on. The eggs & babies drift with the plankton until they grow large enough to hunt on the reef. That's why lionfish have such a massive advantage of native Caribbean fish which usually spawn once a year.
