The spotted scat is a fish with a rectangular body covered in brown spots. It lives in shallow, muddy coastal waters across the Indo-Pacific, from the Persian Gulf to southeastern Australia. It can sting with small spines near its front, which makes it worth knowing about.1

Hello arano
It lives in sheltered, shallow coastal waters such as estuaries, harbours, mangrove pools and the lower parts of freshwater streams, especially where minerals are concentrated. Juveniles float in the surface film of the water.1

Adults eat a wide range of food, and a 1992 study of adults in the Philippines found they mainly ate plant matter. Juveniles prefer zooplankton, which are tiny animals that drift in the water.1

The spotted scat has small spines in its front parts that inject venom when it stings. The venom causes great pain and dizziness.1

Musiiba e yimɓe: MuusɗoNo waawi muusugol sanne, kono ko ɓadii kala tuma ɗum wonataa musiiba mawɗo.

Its sting causes great pain and dizziness. Some people catch and eat it in its native waters, so fishers and anyone handling the fish are most at risk of being stung.1
