My very uneducated guess would be that even in the tropical/semi tropical areas most densely populated by divers, I would agree with what 100days says--a hundred yards away may be lionfish. Even if there are divers in that area a hundred yards away keeping that area free of lionfish, what about all the depths all over down there that are even just below rec limits? Or down to whatever depth lionfish can live? My guess would also be that not many tech. divers that venture to 2-300 feet have killing lionfish as an objective. And there just aren't that many tech. divers as a % of total divers anyway.
But as I say, I'm just throwing out ideas with no statistics (as if anyone really has any regarding % of total Atlantic lionfish that have been killed by divers).
