Why do we classify lionfish populations near the eastern united states as an invasive species? what suggests that these new popu

lations are not an expansion of the lionfish's natural range? view available hint(s) why do we classify lionfish populations near the eastern united states as an invasive species? what suggests that these new populations are not an expansion of the lionfish's natural range? lionfish are native to the tropical pacific. there are no natural water routes of warm water between the pacific and atlantic oceans. lionfish are native to cold waters near the tip of south america. they could not survive in the warmer waters between their native areas and the colder waters of the east coast of the united states. so, it is very unlikely that these south american populations naturally spread north. lionfish are not good swimmers and have no other mechanisms to spread their populations over great distances. lionfish eat only a few specific types of algae that live in isolated regions of the pacific. if lionfish spread much beyond their native pacific home, they would have nothing to eat?

The answer is  Lionfish are native to the tropical Pacific. There are no natural water routes of warm water between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

Invasive species is a species that colonizes an environment in which it is not a native species and tends to upset the natural balance of that environment. Lionfish are naturally found in the indo-pacific, which is their native environment. However, their presence in the eastern United States has have threatened the ecosystem of the region. The fish has decimated fisheries and reef ecosystem since they also don’t have natural predators in the region. Therefore, their population explodes unchecked.
