I hope we're sourcing lionfish for the aquarium trade from the Atlantic now, but it doesn't seem that would even make a dimple, let alone a dent, in the population explosion.

probably not. one way to increase demand for these fish would be marketing it as food, but not sure most people would be willing to eat a poisonous fish.
