Lionfish Prefer to Eat Local
Description: Invasive lionfish are generalist, opportunistic predators, meaning they are not picky when it comes to their food. Two new studies show that while lionfish don't mind if their seafood tastes like fish, crab or shrimp, the size of the lionfish matters when it comes to whether fish or shellfish make up most of their diet. Also, the species lionfish eat changes with their geographic location. [Source: National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (US)]
