The grey side-gilled sea slug is a soft-bodied sea snail without a shell, found in the sea around New Zealand, south-eastern Australia and parts of Asia. It is poisonous rather than venomous: it does not bite or sting, but eating it can be dangerous. It became a public concern in New Zealand in 2009, when several dogs died after eating it.1

Giftig deur 'n byt of steek, of giftig om aan te raak of te eet? Sommige diere spuit gif in met 'n byt of 'n steek. Ander is skadelik om aan te raak of te eet. Hierdie een is giftig om aan te raak of te eet.

Leef in

New Zealand, south-eastern Australia, China, Sri Lanka and Japan; introduced to the coast of Argentina in 20091

Stille Oseaan, Suidelike Oseaan, Antarktika

Tuis

It lives between the tide marks in harbours and in the sea down to about 6 m, or deeper, off rocky coasts. It is often washed ashore during spring storms, so people may find it on beaches.1

Lengte

8 cm tot 10 cm (3,1 in tot 3,9 in)1

Topspoed

omtrent 0,5 km/h (0,31 mph)

Swem, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

It is an opportunistic carnivore that eats other soft-bodied invertebrates, especially sea anemones. It also takes marine worms, mussels, dead or dying animals, and other sea slugs of the same genus.1

Gifkrag

Giftig om te eet

Dit is net skadelik as iets dit eet.

Wat doen sy gif as jy daaraan raak of dit eet?

It does not have venom. Its harm comes from tetrodotoxin, a poison that attacks the nerves. In 2009, several dogs in the Auckland Region of New Zealand died of tetrodotoxin poisoning after eating this slug on beaches.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: Baie gevaarlikDit kan 'n mens doodmaak wat geen behandeling kry nie.

In 2009, several dogs died in the Auckland Region after eating this slug, and children and pet owners were asked to avoid beaches. Recreational fishing was also interrupted for a time. Investigators found the slugs most likely picked up the poison from dead fish they fed on, and similar poisoning has not happened again.1

As iemand daaraan geraak of dit geëet het

As iemand dit geëet het of simptome kry nadat hy dit geëet het: bel dadelik jou noodnommer of 'n gifsentrum.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As jy daaraan geraak of dit geëet het: moenie jou oë of mond vryf nie, was jou hande en kry mediese hulp.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Sy gif is net daar sodat niks dit eet nie. Meer oor veilig bly

die moeite werd om te weet

Feite

Its poison is tetrodotoxin, the same kind of toxin found in some pufferfish.1

It has no shell, although it is a type of sea snail (gastropod mollusc).1

It lives for 2 to 3 years and dies after spawning in winter.1

It has spread far beyond its native range, reaching about 2,000 km of the south-western Atlantic coast after it was first reported in Argentina in 2009.1

Its eggs hatch into free-swimming larvae that drift as plankton for about three weeks before settling.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Every grey side-gilled sea slug is dangerously poisonous.

Waarheid: Differences in toxicity between regions are likely due to differences in diet, not to separate species. The poison most likely comes from the food the slug eats, such as dead fish.1
