A partly disected female lionfish (Pterois volitans) showing stomach contents of nine small reef fish and a shrimp. Two large egg masses are also visible. Although native to the Indo-Pacific, this lionfish was captured in the Caribbean Sea, where they are a problematic invasive species, significantly reducing native reef fish populations. East End, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Caribbean Sea.
