Their native habitat is the Indo-West Pacific region, but there are now known to be established populations off the coast of Florida, and in the Indian River Lagoon.

Lionfish are also difficult for divers to catch because of their poisonous spines. Most professionals who dive for lionfish use a spear or a special tool called a &#8220;bump-stick.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lionfish currently pose a significant threat to our fisheries and must be eradicated before they cause any further damage to our natural ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.divetalking.com\/?s=lionfish\" rel=\"nofollow\">Learn more about lionfish on Divetalking<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Look to Zookeeper for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.divetalking.com\/?page_id=14152\">best equipment<\/a> there is to harvest lionfish.
