Invasive Species: Lionfish

Please do some research on Lionfish (Pterois volitans) and answer these questions:

1. Include the scientific name (Genus species) and the common name of the organism. Why is this considered an invasive species? How did the animal or plant (or other organism) get there, and from where?

2. Why is it so successful? In other words, how or why does it “invade” its non-native, new environment? Why is it difficult to eradicate or control?

3. What impact is this species it having on the native environment and/or native species that live in this environment?

4. Can the ecological damage be reduced?

5. Is there a point where an invasive species should be considered part of the native flora and fauna, or should we always try to eliminate an invasive species?

6. Please share your sources of information with us formatted in APA style.
