Lionfish invade the Mediterranean Sea

Lionfish have spread rapidly across the Mediterranean Sea since they first arrived in the region around 10 years ago, according to a new study. The researchers from the Netherlands found that lionfish are even thriving in waters previously thought to be too cold.

“After years studying these predators, I find it amazing how they can easily adjust to so many different environments and be successful in areas that are so different from the ones where they evolved,” says lead author Davide Bottacini from Wageningen University & Research.
