Resumen
El pez león Pterois volitans (Linnaeus, 1758) es una especie invasora que ha colonizado ampliamente el Atlántico occidental y sus poblaciones han incrementado en número y tamaño en comparación con las de sus áreas nativas. Se presenta el registro de talla corporal máximo reportado para las aguas mexicanas y del golfo de México, con base en un ejemplar de 430 mm de longitud total capturado en la plataforma continental de Alvarado, Veracruz. Se compara con los registros de talla para la especie reportados en México.
