This inspection in Bequia of trap #5 located in 105 feet of water is after on 6 days of soak time.

As the divers approach, the lionfish move into the trap and closer to the FAS (Fish Aggregation Device - vinyl lattice). As the divers leave, the lionfish move away from the only "structure" in the area.

Notice that there are only a couple small lionfish and the rest are all very large. Lionfish not near the trap hover over sand divots which appear to act as structure as a overhang or as cervices would in their native range.
