good question. it’s been said that stonefish anti-venom might work, but i’m not sure there’s any available locally. as far as i know, there is not a lionfish specific anti-venom.

we hope that, once fishermen realize they can make good money selling lionfish and they are actually pretty easy to handle, they’ll start pushing it. in the meantime, by asking for it at the markets and restaurants, we’ll hopefully create a demand that promotes a fishery and motivates the fishermen.

they don’t often take a hook, but it seems to be happening more and more lately. i’ve heard they’ve been caught using squid and mackerel, but also while jigging.

maybe a fish trap specially designed for only those little red bastids would do the trick

do we have an anti venom for the poison spines if someone here is stuck by one? We need to find a way to make this fish meat commercial so there is more demand for eating and catching of this fish.
