the red lionfish is found off the east coast and gulf coast of the united states and in the caribbean sea, and was likely first introduced off the florida coast by the early to mid-1990s. this introduction may have occurred in 1992 when hurricane andrew destroyed an aquarium in southern florida, releasing six lionfish into biscayne bay. however, a lionfish was discovered off the coast of dania beach, south florida, as early as 1985, before hurricane andrew. the lionfish resemble those of the philippines, implicating the aquarium trade. the lionfish may have been purposely discarded by unsatisfied aquarium enthusiasts. this is in part because lionfish require an experienced aquarist, but are often sold to novices who find their care too difficult. in 2001, noaa documented several sightings of lionfish off the coast of florida, georgia, south carolina, north carolina, bermuda, and delaware. in august 2014, when the gulf stream was discharging into the mouth of the delaware bay, two lionfish were caught by a surf fisherman off the ocean side shore of cape henlopen state park: a red lionfish that weighed 1 pound 4.5 ounces and a common lionfish that weighed 1 pound 2 ounces. three days later a 1-pound 3 ounce red lionfish was caught off the shore of broadkill beach which is in the delaware bay approximately 15 miles north of cape henlopen state park. lionfish were first detected in the bahamas in 2004. in june 2013 lionfish were discovered as far east as barbados, and as far south as the los roques archipelago and many venezuelan continental beaches. lionfish were first sighted in brazilian waters in late 2014. genetic testing on a single captured individual revealed that it was related to the populations found in the caribbean, suggesting larval dispersal rather than an intentional release.
