Species Overview

Red Lionfish

The red lionfish is a venomous coral reef fish native to the Indo-Pacific. Its ornate, striped body and fan-like pectoral fins make it popular in aquariums, but it has become a destructive invasive species in the western Atlantic and Caribbean.

Yellowfin Tuna

The yellowfin tuna is a pelagic predator found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. Capable of speeds exceeding 75 km/h, it is prized both as a sport fish and for its high-quality sashimi-grade flesh.
