Lionfish Net Capture 1

Photo 1 of 4

 

With the onset of the Lionfish invasion in 2008, the Cayman Islands Department of Environment approved the use of hand held nets under a culling license to cull/kill lionfish ostensibly to protect the reef fish populations from being decimated.

 

These 4 photos show local recreational divers with captured lionfish prior to euthanizing them.

 

Published in conjunction with an article on the current state of lionfish culling in the Cayman Islands.
