The most likely explanation for the introduction of lionfish into the

Atlantic Ocean is through the aquarium trade. In August 1992, at least

6 lionfish were released into Biscayne Bay when a beach-side

aquarium broke during Hurricane Andrew. It is also thought that

lionfish were accidentally or deliberately released into the ocean by

aquarium hobbyists.
