Lionfish swimming near the wreck of the Cedar Pride, a Lebanese freighter
purposely sunk in 1986. This popular dive site is located in the Sea of Aquaba,
which is in the northern part of the Red Sea (Jordan). Scientists have observed
that lionfish tend to congregate in groups (such as in this photo) during the
mating season and when they are juveniles. At other times, they are probably
solitary (live alone). Overall, very little is known about the behavior of lionfish,
especially in its new neighborhood, the Atlantic Ocean. (Photo credit: NOAA) |
