Lionfish Slayers make your part in eliminating Lionfish fun and safe (safer). Our Slayers are designed with safety and accuracy as the utmost priority.

Lionfish are not, as of yet, amassing in spots on every dive in Florida waters and the entire Caribbean, but most divers see at least one if not a few on their dive. The Lionfish Slayer is designed to be attached to your BC and convenient access for when/if you come across a Lionfish. When you do, pull out the gun, kill the fish and either keep it or leave it on the ocean floor and continue with the dive. You have just saved several thousand potential offspring of that Lionfish from killing our reefs! The Punch is a “closed end” spear gun. The stainless steel tube is configured so that the spear inside the high tube propels outwards and abruptly stops at the end of the barrel, preventing the spear from shooting further than the end of the gun.

Opportunistic Monsters!

Invasive Species Awareness Week

Lionfish are opportunistic generalists, meaning they will prey on any convenient species up to 1/2 their own body size. They rotate between prey items based on what is most easily captured and available.

Lionfish prey on ecologically and economically important species of fishes and invertebrates.
Some examples of economically important species are snapper, grouper, shrimp, crabs, and lobster. Without large numbers of juveniles of these species, the adult populations cannot be replaced as they age.
Ecologically important species examples are parrotfish, damselfish, and wrasses. These grazers and herbivores help keep the reefs clean of parasites and algae.

Lionfish are effective predators. Their techniques include ambushing prey, cooperative hunting, and "corralling" with their fan-like pectoral fins.

Lionfish can consume substantial numbers of small fish and crustaceans in one feeding, reducing small fish populations by up to 90 percent.
