I agree with the ban the problem will be worse without it but in our nation everything is about money. what I do not agreed is the theory of introduction I blame the Panama canal in the Caribe there are more than here I you can see them in the Dominican Republic, remember in 1990 diving in Miami i heard some one asking to get a lion fish if we see one.Jerome Thierry says:
I think it's nonsense to ban these fishes after they have invaded all the carribean. I went to Guadeloupe for hollidays last month, and everywhere we snorkeled we found some Pterois radiata, big ones ( 35 cm) in water 7-8 m deep and juvéniles ones in water 50cm-1 m deep Under overhangs near the shore. Around the island of Terre de Bas ( the Saintes), we also encoundered some Pterois miles in rather deep caves about 10 meters deep. All in all, we saw some of thèses fishes nearly everytime we looked for them, even in protected and patrolled areas, so it seems senseless to try to put the devil back in the bottle, knowing Guadeloupe is far souther than Florida, and that it will be impossible to catch all the Pterois out there!
