Question

Why was the lion fish able to go from a very small initial population on the coast of Florida to taking over the Atlantic coast and Bahamas

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Due to the lionfish not having any known predators in this region, it was able to reproduce with ease and no worry of any attackers, so nothing to keep the animal in check.

Because of this, the animal became an invasive species, and the people are trying their best to get rid of the species here by allowing anyone to catch it (with a permit/license as so non-permit people don't harm themselves) at anytime of year.
