Description:
On August 25th, 2010, four specimens of the invasive lionfish
Pterois volitans were seen inhabiting the submerged roots of mangroves bordering the entrance to the
southern lagoon of Bahía de Chengue, at the Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona. One specimen (40 mm
total length) was captured and photographed. The occurrence of this deleterious fish in such an ecological
and economic valuable ecosystem is considered potentially dangerous.
