I didn't catch the lionfish. A volunteer brough two of them in this week. She said she got them at the inlet, but I don't know which side. I went to Ponquogue bridge the other night and visibility looked terrible. We also went seining all afternoon on Tuesday and got very little (one lookdown and one cornetfish). The wind has been blowing hard all week and messing things up.
Only Octopus vulgaris is listed for this area (as a tropical stray), but we actually get a couple of species, including one very small, cold-water species. We have fishermen bring them in throughout the year. They are either undescribed, or just haven't been found here by the right scientists yet. Western Atlantic octopi have not been well-studied.
Tom, I'll give you a call this afternoon.
