@@Intranetusa Fish living in cold environments are parasitized too. It’s gross, but if you eat a raw fish that has, say, roundworms in its flesh, you’re just eating some roundworm. You won’t be hurt by it or infected, as their reproduction occurs in the fish’s digestive tract. The only fish you want to avoid eating raw are freshwater fish. Many are intermediate hosts for trematodes (flukes) whose larvae CAN infect you if you eat them.

It wouldn't be hard to build hunter killer robots that used AI to identify and exterminate lion fish. Could probably wipe them out in a few years with a couple hundred solar powered robots working around the clock, floating on the surface to recharge in the day and killing lion fish by night. A bit more complex but doable would be having the harvest the lion fish, spine them and bring the to shore as a harvest. They cost billions in damage, a project like this would only be a few million.

Larger predatory fish which co-evolved with lionfish in the Indo-Pacific know how to eat them without killing themselves (morays will swallow them head first then carefully regurgitate the venom spines).
