The red lionfish ___1___ maroon and white stripes to complement its venomous spines. A native of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the red lionfish and one of its cousins have rapidly ___2___ from Cape Hatteras to the coast of Mexico.
The lionfish ___3___ small fish, mollusks and invertebrates, enough to ___4___ to as much as 480 grams and decimate local populations on the coral reefs they inhabit. Their arrival has caused quote "extreme disruption to native fish communities," according to the International Coral Reef Initiative, which is studying what to do about the lionfish invasion.
The lionfish are largely taking over thanks to overfishing by us humans, which has seriously ___5___ native grouper and snapper that would otherwise play the same role. But humans can help too, if we just learn to overfish the lionfish.
In fact, the answer to this invasive species problem may lie on the dinner table. After all, lionfish fillets are not poisonous and rather delicious, according to both the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and fisherfolk who have tasted it. Per NOAA quote "we can't possibly eat too many of them."

紅獅子魚褐白相間的條紋真是為它的毒刺錦上添花。紅獅子魚產(chǎn)自印度洋、太平洋，但它們和其某種遠親已迅速建立起對哈特拉斯角至墨西哥灣海域的統(tǒng)治。
獅子魚以小魚、軟體動物、無脊椎動物為食，這些食物足以讓獅子魚增重480克，也足以讓獅子魚對當(dāng)?shù)厣汉鹘干系纳镌斐蓢乐赝{。據(jù)研究獅子魚入侵對策的國際珊瑚礁學(xué)會獅子魚的到來引起了“對當(dāng)?shù)佤~類種群的嚴重破壞”。 獅子魚能夠謀權(quán)篡位和我們?nèi)祟惖臑E捕濫殺密不可分。人類的過度捕撈使得當(dāng)?shù)卦咎幱诮y(tǒng)治地位的石斑魚和鯛魚數(shù)量大大減少。當(dāng)然，解鈴還須系鈴人，只要我們多捕點獅子魚就能幫上忙了。
但歸根結(jié)底，這入侵物種獅子魚的問題還是在餐桌上。據(jù)美國國家海洋和大氣管理局以及部分漁民透露，獅子魚魚片并沒有毒，而且味道相當(dāng)鮮美。每位美國國家海洋和大氣管理局的成員都覺得“百吃不厭”!
