Today's post will be mainly pictures of aquatic life I took when
we visited the Rockport aquarium.
Although small, it was filled with common sea life of the area and included a few non-native species.
It was very educational and a lot of fun.
Did I also tell you it was free?
*******************
Lionfish
Beautiful isn't it?
But they're poisonous, invasive, and not native to our waters.
They are highly detrimental because they compete for food
and have no natural enemies.
If you see them, remove them to help limit negative impacts
to native marine life and ecosystems.
Can you see it?
Now you can!

I am not an Ichthyologist (a zoologist who studies fish), so if you can identify any of the fish,
feel free to leave a comment or contact me directly.
Happy days til next time!
