Please Help ASAP. Lionfish are a predatory fish that are commonly kept in home aquaria. However, when people are no longer able

to care for these fish, they often release them into the ocean. This introduces a non-native species into an area where it should not be. Explain how a lionfish population could become quickly established in a new habitat, and how additional predation and competition from lionfish may negatively affect the biodiversity of that habitat.

Since lionfish introduced to the ocean are not native they have very few predators, so they may eat the fish that were previously at the top of the food chain. If that were to happen then these organisms will multiply too quickly and that would lead to an imbalanced ecosystem. Lionfishes are a huge treat for ocean and if left unchecked they can cause the destruction of the reefs and native fish stocks.
