I'm really scared of how many of them are below rhe scuba line, but this is great work. You're not teaching a bunch of fish to eat from divers, just one fish to eat lionfish. Brilliant!
@ venom doesn’t work like that, it’s just a protein that is very digestible. Heavy metals do that and poison dart frogs do that with the ants they consume.

Yup thats the idea
Great footage
Now we just need to teach humans to stop eating dog snappers.
I thought lion fish had defensive venomous spines
They do, but the big predators are still able to eat them, they’re just not used to it because lionfish aren’t originally from the caribbean
My understanding is that if they are swallowed head first, the spines cannot sting the predator.
And the venom is simply digested.
I was wondering if the venom is digested, or does it bio-accumulate?

@ they get digested
Btw that’s a mutton snapper not a dog snapper 😅
Damn, you’re right
Single?
No
