Field Notes

Description:

Although not a particularly good photo of a Mutton Snapper, this spotting shows how these fish have learned to follow divers to be fed dead lionfish. Roatan Marine Park offers training and licences for divers to spear lionfish, an invasive species.

Habitat:

Coral reef in Roatan Marine Park.
