... is one that looks like this:
Just needs a slice of lemon.
Here's some lionfish news.
- From Bermuda: Lionfish hunters doubled with longer permits
"A scheme to take invasive lionfish out of the sea and put them on dinner plates is to expand.
The number of hunters is to double and permits will run for a year instead of six months."
- From Panama City, Florida: Covenant Christian students working to perfect lionfish trap
"Led by teacher David Camperman, the students have been working on improving and testing their traps, originally developed by lionfish expert NOAA Chief Scientist Steve Gittings. Nicknamed the “taco trap,” the trap features a piece of lattice acting as an artificial reef to attract lionfish. The lattice is surrounded by cast net, and when the trap is pulled to the surface, the cast net folds up and over the lattice so it looks like a taco shell. Though the process is relatively slow, with no known predators, lionfish are notoriously hard to startle and the lack of bait in the trap will eliminate bycatch."Keep on working, kids.
