Isn't it more dangerous to eat raw fish from warmer waters (such as the Caribbean) because of the higher prevalence of parasites, bacteria, and toxins (eg. ciguatoxin and maitotoxin)?

@@Intranetusa parasites no, bacteria no, toxins no...ciguatera (ciguatoxin) is limited to certain fish, not all fish in Caribbean waters. for example, barracuda is known to be one of the worst for ciguatera.

@@yvelf Why don't they have parasites? Warmer waters and slower swimming fish usually increase the chances for parasite infection.

​@Intranetusa they are vaccinated

@@Intranetusa Fish living in cold environments are parasitized too. It’s gross, but if you eat a raw fish that has, say, roundworms in its flesh, you’re just eating some roundworm. You won’t be hurt by it or infected, as their reproduction occurs in the fish’s digestive tract. The only fish you want to avoid eating raw are freshwater fish. Many are intermediate hosts for trematodes (flukes) whose larvae CAN infect you if you eat them.

Probably not. This is the same as those who litter.. Zero accountability, viewed as "not their problem."

Who said humans were involved. Animals go where they want

@@samsonsoturian6013 Watch the video !

@samsonsoturian6013 don't let other believe you're this stupid/naive..

10 females is really specific, what do you think? a breeder dumping old stock for more room in his tanks?. aquarium enthusiast, moving and can't bring all his fish?

yeah man, that's hilarious 🤣

So is the lionfish. 😂

Peak morbid humor.

- Ik that was hilarious 😂

do they contain alot of bones? would be awesome if its like dory or cod

Lionfish also have one of the lowest concentrations of mercury of all fish - they are actually quite healthy! Since they grow so fast they do not have time to build up mercury in their systems (or off-flavours). Around 100x less mercury than King Mackerel and 4x less than Tuna.

@@ShhhHhhhz I’m honestly not sure, we had someone preparing the meals for us.

Thanks for sharing!

I have to agree. I’m hoping to go scuba diving license. Next time I go to the Caribbean I’ll see if I can help out in anyway.

But then they'd be liable for lawsuits. No restaurant would take the risk

Thanks for watching!

Being expensive means there will be more people fishing for them as the population grows, though

@@antonhelsgaun who's wants to eat poison fish think about how gullible people are nowadays but you right if everyone had a taste palet but they dont

@@jstewlly4747counter-point: puffer fish.

@@tl1326 counter point........I live in Americano one eats puffer.....even though I would love too

@@jstewlly4747 Lionfish It's not a poison fish, it's a venomous fish. Learn the difference. People have eaten octopus for thousands of years and it's also venomous.

but girls think business insiders' video r boring n nerdy tho, also they think its cruel to kill such an innocent fish

⁠@@jake9854I find their content interesting and can see the merit in hunting invasive species to protect our own, no need for your sexism.

That's the problem with trying to commercialize it. Rather than keeping it innocent and ecologically friendly, they'll try to milk extra money calling it "exotic", when in reality they should be pricing it the same as any other fish.

@@nahor88 pricing it the same? Did you forget it's hard to catch it in the first place? what's the incentives for the spear divers then besides just for good eco reasons?

And it is because of that hobby that this started...

I heard in a different video that lion fish venom is completely safe if cooked.

Lots of people eat lion fish and turn out fine. It’s only bad if you get pricked by the spines.

@quaktoons331 Most underrated comment. Input more likes please.

Physically impossible. You can't vaccinate for venom.

And also it cures curses, bad juju and erectile disfunction

We dont need to import them, theyre tearing up florida too

Just go to florida, they are even more numerous there.

Ardeth Bay was a douche in that movie, lol. "Uh you don't wanna do that..." 🧔

I believe it’s a dish that she created herself, she named it “Save the Sea” (Salvar el mar in Spanish) so when someone orders it they can feel even more fulfilled by eating a delicious dish and knowing the story behind it of saving the sea by eating that fish :)

It’s just your standard ceviche recipe but with lionfish

They are doing this with mosquitoes in certain areas.

@@Mustlovebooks15 OHHH thank you I think it was mosquitoes!!

Sabotaging the gene pool. Not the worst idea

Nope, they don't have any natural predators particularly in this zone of the Caribbean sea.

really good. Almost as good as monk fish

A lot of dive shops have hunting trips. I like to do 1 or 2 for fun, then we donate the fish to a restaurant afterwards

Share the video Also, if you didn’t know, (this message is for unbelievers but those who know Christ can read it too), Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :) “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬ If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on KZfaq and a KZfaq channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and *he will.* God Bless :)

Nope

@@thernsa Huh?

You’ve got the wrong species of fish

@@thernsa No, I don’t. The gall of some people 😂

@@LordAsturgisthat was a sting ray

On point screen name. Are you a dive master? If so, these comments are a great place to advertise your services. As a recreational diver, I’d love to learn to spearfish and help get rid of a (tasty) invasive species.

Im a dive instructor

tbf if it was a Hurricane and not just the mrealsing thme not sure its their fault

@@gothicgolem2947 releasing them just because. Yep that makes Perfect sense…. I walked through the homes with 100 + gallon tanks, tanks that were Broken… So where did the Fish Go…… Your First Two guesses don’t Count…. GO!!! 1)

@@Jessiejam-44 they did not release them if the tanks broke…. They got destroyed and the fish swept to sea. Thats not the owners fault

I'm shocked that you just mentioned and recommended Ethan Jackson. I thought I was the only one trading with him.

You trade with Ethan Jackson too? Wow that man has been a blessing to me and my family

Ethan Jackson gave me the autonomy I needed, to learn at my own pace and ask questions when I need to , he’s so accommodating.

I’m surprised that Ethan’s name is being mentioned here. I stumbled upon one of his clients testimony on CNBC news last week.

I'm new here and really want to know some important things about him, How do I reach him please?

No, because you'd end up with those predators becoming the next invasive species. They're trying to teach the native predators to eat them by feeding them some of the ones they've speared

That's Spanish, here in Colombia people living in the Coast have that unique accent.

@@omarjavierq thanks mate😊

Do it

Larger predatory fish which co-evolved with lionfish in the Indo-Pacific know how to eat them without killing themselves (morays will swallow them head first then carefully regurgitate the venom spines). Lionfish look and behave so completely differently from native Caribbean fish that the local predators don't know how to deal with them.

Moray eels, sharks immune to the venom, other Scorpion fish species eat their lion fish relatives as well. Tiger groupers, blue spotted cornet fish, there are probably others, there are a lot of things that eat them in southeast Asia, to the point that they're not that common. They're native to our southern shore which is a tourist attraction, yet very few people ever see them.

Put simply in their natural environment they fit in the eco system but where they don’t belong they are overpowered an outcompete everything until there is nothing less. Lion fish are a prime example of a disastrous invasive species because if their insanely fast rate of reproduction
