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.
