Invasive species, Lionfish is close to Brazil

Among the exuberant fish that live on the reefs, the red lionfish is a highlight with its lateral and dorsal fins, striped and colorful. In the 90s it was an attraction, almost a trophy, among western aquarists. After an accident, the lionfish (as it is also known) won North American waters. It went from being a controlled beauty to becoming an outright threat. It was soon classified as an invasive species, the enemy of ecological balance due to its voracious appetite and lack of natural predators.

The species invaded the east coast of the United States, descended through Central America, reached South America and approached Brazil. It's in Venezuela and getting closer. In a straight line, 1,500 kilometers separate the last lionfish sighting from Foz do Oiapoque, our northernmost point.

Professor at the University of California Santa Cruz and fish curator at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, the biologist Luiz Rocha says that the lionfish is a particularly bad invasive species because of its efficiency as a predator. "The lionfish adopts an 'ambush' strategy, it stays in a camouflaged corner and when a small fish passes close by, it bites."

The lionfish invasion in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean had its effects pointed out in recent studies, which reveal the significant decrease of small fish where the lionfish arrived. “Due to the characteristics of the species, we can say that its arrival in Brazil is inevitable, sooner or later”, supposes the researcher.
