“And it’s a big problem, notes Stephanie Green. She’s a marine ecologist at Stanford University in California who is not involved in the robot project. Green compares the lionfish to a very thorny weed. A weed crops up in a garden, spreads quickly and chokes out most other plants. The lionfish is similar, but it is eating and outcompeting local fish.” Why would she use a weed to discribe the lionfish?
