Watch as rapid response divers gear up to catch the first reported lionfish in the Florida Keys and subsequently dissect the fish. Dissection is critical to help scientists learn gender, sexual maturity, and what the fish is eating. This information helps researchers better understand the potential threat that lionfish pose to key reef and commercial fish species. Learning more about the habits and preferences of lionfish in non-native waters also helps experts determine where to look for these invasive fish.

  • Were you really expecting a complex computerized machine do dissect a dead fish?

  • very high tech equipment you got lol

  • Anything that has to be dissected before you know its gender, I don't trust.
