“We put them down when we get them; we don’t keep them alive,” said Bradley Johnson, research officer with the Department of Environment, adding that the department keeps one live lionfish to use in demonstrations of how to catch them.

Scuba divers authorised by the Department of Environment and the Marine Conservation Board have caught 233 of the fish on all three islands in the last 16 months and handed them over to the department to be destroyed.
