  1. Are there leeches , though?

  2. +Tlacua Che That is a type of palm (not sure of the species), not a banana plant.

  3. +I Bara You're too lazy to research it yourself and too arrogant too admit that you know nothing on the matter while pretending to be an expert . Ignorance is an understandable flaw (nobody starts knowing everything) but you sir, reeks of wilful stupidity or simply a troll.Neither can fixed. I'm done wasting my time with you.

  4. +Khew Zi Xuan Eradicating every single lion fish from their "introduced " habitat wont even put them on the least endangered list let alone cause their extinction. This particular species still thrives in their native habitat and they are quite popular as aquarium fish and are widely cultivated (easily for that) as one.

  5. You do know what "invasive species" means and why they're ecological disasters, right? I suggest you brush up on your biology (particularly on ecology) before posting next time.

  6. +The Modz As a non native speaker, I'm deep touched by your concern regarding my English proficiency. That doesn't mean that your OP and "rebuttal are on point, though. How do you suggest we remove these guys from the environment ,then?They threatened the local species to extinction due voracious nature and lack of natural predators.Leaving even a single breeding pair in the introduced environment is unacceptable due to this factor.Yes ,we need to remove all of them and killing them is the only current feasible option. Furthermore, it is pretty much impossible to cause extinction to these particular lionfish species as they both still thrive in the local ecosystem and are very popular aquarium fish species.

  7. They're scientist, not robots.

  8. +impassable Do you even watch this video? Thy specifically said it was a type of bryozoan.

  9. Watch the video or google the effects on this invasive species have on the ecosystem.

  10. +I Bara Funny someone who as young as you trying to pull age on me .Do you even remember the time when personal computers and portable phones were only the talks of science fiction? I suggest you actually do research on the history of environmentalism (and the achievement I listed) before spouting more of your ignorance.Heck , your unwarranted and ridiculously misguided misanthropy is the product of environmentalism. Th lionfish are invasive species that deserved to be eradicated in order to protect the ecosystem , any conservationist will easily tell you that. Yes, unlike them we are aware of the harm that we've done.The fact that your arguing about them proves that. Again google the achievement (your generation have no excuse for being this ignorant) I've listed.Not only did we slowed down the destruction of nature, we reversed some of the damaged (the ozone hole eg). Given enough time and technological advancement, we can do far more.

  11. Firstly, these fish are released by aquarium owners that were unwilling to dispose of them properly. you think they will be willing to fork a couple of thousand of dollars to ship them back to their natural habitat? Secondly, lionfish grows very well in captivity and breed easily.What is more likely to happen if consuming them became a thing and we managed to wipe them in the invaded habitat thank to this, is the aquaculture sector would start to farm them en mass.
    5
  12. +impassable Those (the ones you found) were probably just frog eggs. These guys however are not eggs of any animal . I suggest you google what a bryozoan is , or check Volga Wolfhounds' link in the post above.

  13. +I Bara No, you're obviously the naive one here.I suggest you look into the environmentalism and how that have change the world.Look what the environmentalist movement have achieved during all this years: We brought back species from near extinction (the Californian condors eg) ,prevented the extinction of many other , repaired the hole in the ozone layer, cut back on the use of dangerous pesticides (DDT eg) , moving towards cleaner energies and many, many more...We are capable of reversing many of the damages (this lion fish invasion is such problem ) that we have done and we are doing so this is what earned us our reprieve and our redemption. Invasive species such as the lion-fish are disrupting the local ecosystem and are causing irreparable damage to them.Unlike us, they're completely unaware of the damage that they're doing an can never undo them on their own.The responsibility lies on human hands.

  14. They're venomous.They're not poisonous ,though.

  15. You do know what "invasive species" means and why they're ecological disasters, right?

  16. +Tommy Good if they manage to make this invasive species extinct in their "introduced" ecosystem.This fish don't belong there and are threatening the local species to extinction.

  17. You need yto learn proper ecology before making a dumbass out of yourself with your OP.

  18. Their venom is located in their spine, neutralise that and their meat is pretty much safe.They're not poisonous like the fugu.
    4
  19. I didn't see any banana. What are talking about?
    4
  20. No, puffer fish are poisonous, not safe to consume at any rate. Lionfish are merely venomous.That's a huge difference.

  21. Humans is the only "invasive" species that can and have been undoing the damage that we've done to this planet.Can those lion fish do the same ?
    3
  22. That's not a sea lion.

  23. + RARE non-normie left winger Many animals lovers falls into the PETA types idiocy groups.

  24. Eradicating every single lion fish from their "introduced " habitat wont even put them on the least endangered list let alone cause their extinction. This particular species still thrives in their native habitat and they are quite popular as aquarium fish and are widely cultivated (easily for that) as one. Their continued existence only disrupts the ecosystem they invaded while they brought little to no added benefit.Kill them all, every single one of them.

  25. Wiping them out would be good for the environment .Eating them is just a bonus for us.

  26.  @christianboustani8284  Whatever this "stupidity" that you spoke of, I've seen none of it in this video of the original footage. These scientist were in awe of an awesome sight that no one have ever seen before and never been caught on camera (go ahead, google images/videos of gulper been caught doing this type of behaviour) . The fact that they continue to make hypotheses about what creature this was and why it does what it id shows the amount of curiosity inherent in all scientist is still there. Of course they immediately identify it as a gulper eel the moment it reverted to its more familiar state shows that they aren't as clueless as you presume.

  27. We're the only "invasive species " that can and have been undoing the damage we've done to the planet.
    2
  28. I can guarantee you that we do know more about the ocean that any one of these species.I don't think knowing is an appropriate attribute for a non-sapient being.
    2
  29. That doesn't make any sense at all.
    2
  30. Did you not watch the video ?
    2
  31. +ShootBigBucks Gaming So I'm guessing you now know why : A)Hunting them won't cause their extinction. B)Wiping them out is good for the ecosystem. You, know considering you have 9 month to educate yourself since your OP.
    2
  32. +Coolcraftteam Ignore the OP. That kid is just trolling you.
    2
  33. Depend on where you're doing this.I think you should check whether or not your quarry is an invasive species or just another native to the biome.
    2
  34. Good.They're are a destructive invasive species that does'r belong in the Pacific.
    2
  35. The OP is an idiot, or a troll.
    2
  36. They breed easily (each female laying million of eggs), very hardy,have no natural predators and a voracious appetite.
    2
  37. They're venomous.
    2
  38. The pet trade is how they got there in the first place.
    2
  39. +NakedBYdesign Unlike these invasive species human can and have changes their method to be less destructive to the environment, even undoing the damage that previous humans have done.
    2
  40. +anthony whitehouse You do realise that these guys are undoing the damage done by the introduction of lionfish to these habitat,right?
    2
  41. Travel Pigeons? WTF are those.
    2
  42. You do know that they're an invasive species ,right?
    2
  43. And be totally ignorant of it?
    2
  44. The lionfish is far from being endangered. The goal is to eradicate every single one of them from the invaded habitats, even letting one of them survive is a huge risk.
    2
  45. +Cryptic 90 No, that's definitely two males fighting.
    2
  46. Ummm...Geologist are scientists.

  47.  @christianboustani8284  " Then you are truly ignorant. They should have been able to identify it as a Gulper Eel immediately. Gulper Eels are not new, their behaviour has been known for years." It seem the only ignorant person here is you. Did you fail to read the part "an awesome sight that no one have ever seen before and never been caught on camera" ? Though it have been speculated that Gulper eel can do that, there is no proof or sighting of them ever displaying this behaviour (before this footage , that is) ,so no you are completely incorrect in assuming that this is indeed common knowledge that have been "known for years". "If any one of them for a second ever thought "I didn't know a gulper eel could do that", they immediately forfeit their obviously unearned degrees. " No one on the Earth knows for certain that a Gulper eel can an does behaves in such way. "Oh wait, they already forfeited their faulty degrees not even 10 seconds into this video by asking "What is that?" Actually those are proof that they earn those degrees. If first thought of seeing someone that is completely new isn't "What is that ?" , then you don't deserve to be a scientist.

  48. Sampling it is one way of determining if it is new species or not.
    2
  49. Huh?
    2
  50. Yup , they're from The Nautilus (check the you tube channel) .
    2
  51. venom=/=poison You can drink the venom of snakes and scorpion without having any ill effect at all. Unless you had any open wound in your digestive system that is.
    2
  52. No, this isn't an unknown species. They identify this as a type of Gulper eel at the end of the video.
    2
  53. Do you know the damage that lionfish do to the ecosystem they invaded?I'm guessing not.

  56. Try harder , troll.

  57. +Luigi De Guzman Ignore him.The OP is obviously a troll, nobody is that stupid.

  58. And this disqualify them as scientist in what way now? Don't underestimate the utility of the mighty duct tape.
    1
  59. So?
    1
  60. How did he got rid of it?
    1
  61. Thankfully it is next to impossible to cause this species to go extinct even if we managed to kill every single one of them in the invaded habitats.They still thrive in their native habitat( where they came originally from ) and are popular aquarium fish that breed very well in captivity.
    1
  62. Unlike these lion fish, we human knows our impact on the planet and are trying to both undo and prevent/reduce future damage. That earned us our reprieve . Show me another "invasive" species that have this quality ?

  63. +R8ERN8TION52 I guess nobody have been telling you about this whole environmentalism thing that have been going on for more than half a century , huh?
    1
  64. +R8ERN8TION52 No, we're still building pipelines (I assume you mean fro the petroleum and gas industry) because we still need them .Enviromentalism is one of the reason why we're switching to clean, renewable energy.

  65. Marine snow isn't what you think. They're far more disgusting.

  66. So some 14 second ad in a free video is too much for your entitled ass ,then. Got it.

  67. They need to sample it to pinpoint what it really is. Sampling is the standard operational procedure of any scientific expedition.

  68. Read the description.

  69. +Lvl100MagiKarp Splash I think you meant Passenger pigeon.Those birds weren't invasive species that threatened the extinction of local species in the ecosystem they invaded . hat's a completely false analogy.
    1
  70. +Lvl100MagiKarp Splash No , they weren't. That is completely false . I not sure if you're trolling or just stupid, but you should really stop spreading misinformation.

  71. You think the price is unfair?

  72. Learn proper biology (and ecology) too..

  73. No, chicken would still be a niche South East Asians species numbering just in a several tens of thousands at most . It is domestication that allow them to reach the absurd number (over 20 billion chickens) they have right now.

  74. No light.

  75. Pretty much most coral do. They form symbiotic relationship with phytoplanton that live within their cells that provide them with food in exchange for protection. That is one of the reason why coral bleaching is dangerous, it strips those phytoplanton from them. It's not the only reason (the water temperature eg) why there is no corral in the deeper parts of the ocean .

  76. Technically, higher pressure and colder water hold oxygen better than warmer water at the surface so deeper water can hold more oxygen that surface water provided good exchange mechanism is available. The problem is the greater the depth the lesser the amount of sunlight that is available for photosynthesis there fore less way to prlensih the depleted oxygen..

  77. No self respecting scientist would ever said that. If a scientist ever said "I know everything" , you know you're dealing with a charlatan pretending to be a scientist.

  78. Maybe it's a commodity thing like how we named dairy cows ? After all they were hunted for their fur.
    1
  79. They did identify the animal at the end of the video, how long does it takes you to properly nae the fish?
    1
  80. No.
    1
  81. Go watch the video until the end. They did identify it once it deflates itself.
    1
  82. Sharks don't eat them.
    1
  83. What little duck?
    1
  84. Unlike that fisherman these scientists did identify the creature at the end of this video.
    1
  85. Umm... This footage was taken from the Nautilus's youtube channel.
    1
  86. They invasive lion fish are causing extinction to the native species.
    1
  87. I can't tell if you're stupid or trolling.
    1
  88. You should go to the Nautilus own youtube channel.
    1
  89. Nope.
    1
  90. You speak about yourself that way.
    1
  91. Not really, pretty all image of Gulper eel are that when they're deflated.
    1
  92. No, I would never abandon my anime hunting ways.
    1
  93. Wath until the end of the video., HINT: they did identify the fish. You must understand that this is the first time ever that Gulper ell was filmed doing this behaviour , most specimen of Gulper eel were dead or dying when the scientist got to them so they know very little about them and their behaviour while still alive.
