Venomous Lionfish Are Invading The Mediterranean Sea

Illustration of a Lion Fish ( Poisson Lion, Pterois antennata) in the Red Sea, Egypt in June 2023. Venomous lionfish are invading the Mediterranean Sea. The lionfish, which originate from the Red Sea, probably entered the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal. Lionfish have no natural predators and reproduce on a massive scale.
