(a) with no natural predators, the lionfish population will become very large. (b) some native species of invertebrates will develop a resistance to lionfish venom.

Lionfish have become an invasive species since their introduction into the atlantic ocean, where they have few natural predators due to their venomous spines and quick reproduction. they feed voraciously on native reef fish and mollusks, negatively impacting coral reef biodiversity. how can scientists further investigate the spread and impact of lionfish in order to develop potential solutions to this issue? encourage divers to report sightings of lionfish to update current maps introduce more fish and mollusks for the lionfish to feed on study maps of lionfish sightings prior to 1995 use a remotely operated underwater vehicle (rov) to capture lionfish
