Gang,
I just got back from my annual 10 day trip to Coz. 30 dives total since we lost a few due to Ernesto (the storm, not the fajita place).
Anyway, far fewer lionfish than last year. Last year our DM would spear a dozen or more on every dive. This year we didn't see a dozen total over the entire trip. I suppose it could be due to the DMs spearing them but that seems unlikely. Anybody know? Perhaps they've developed a natural predator?
Thanks!
