Ciclo de vida

del Lionfish

1-Al encontrarse un macho de 4y una hembra de 7 comienza el

rito conocido como cortejo.

2- El cortejo comienzacuando el macho empieza aondular su aleta dorsal y sus

dos aletas pectorales. Luegola hembra alinea su miradahacia el y suben a lasuperficie.

hembra libera de 20,000 a 30,000huevos lo cual el macho los fertilizarexternamentesiendo arrastrado por lacorrientes.

4- Al cabo de las 36 horascomienza la fase larval ysiguen siendo desplazadospor las corrientes marinas.

5- Al desarrollarse y

llegar a una medida de se considera unorganismo juvenil sedesplazan hacia elarrecife para empezar suvida como cazadores.

6- Al llegar a un tamao de 4 o 7 seconsideran adultos lo cual son aptospara reproducirse cada 4 das durante

su vida los cual pueden llegar a vivir de5 a 15 aos.


54/148

Mature femaleTotal length= 275mm / 10.8 inches

The female lionfish releases a mucussack of eggs, and fertilization is achievedexternally. The egg sack floats for a while

and over time the mucous membrane willdeteriorate releasing the eggs into thewater column.

They have the ability to spawn throughoutthe year.

First Aid Response

Revise the affected area If the affected area is an

extremity (legs andhands), it could be

elevated to reduce painand inflammation. Clean the area, removing

any spine or tissue.

Dont stop the firstbleeding, this allow thetoxins to get out.

When the area is clean,then put it in hot water(NOT BOILING).

The hot water will relieve

the pain, neutralizing thetoxins.

Antiseptic and topicalantibiotic could be used,

to avoid secondaryinfections
