The silver-cheeked toadfish is a puffer fish with a silver stripe along each side. It lives in warm seas, and it is extremely poisonous to eat. It matters because it has spread into the Mediterranean, where people may catch it by mistake.1

Ne ho awuduro yɛ dɛn?

It is not venomous. Its poison is tetrodotoxin, which is found mainly in the ovaries, and to a lesser extent in the skin, muscles and liver. The toxin causes paralysis of involuntary muscles, the muscles the body controls without thinking. This can stop breathing or cause heart failure.1
