Red lionfish

Pterois volitans
Ku linnya: The common name "lionfish" comes from the fins, which create an appearance similar to a mane, and the scientific name volitans means "flying", probably because of the large pectoral fins that resemble wings.1

The red lionfish is a venomous coral reef fish with long, frilled fins that look like a mane. It is native to the Indo-Pacific, but it has spread into the Caribbean, the east coast of the United States and other areas, where it is an invasive species. Its spreading is a serious problem for local reef life.1

Engeri y'okukitegeera

  • White stripes alternate with red, maroon or brown stripes.1
  • Large venomous spines run along the back (dorsal) fin, with more on the pelvic and anal fins.1
  • Long, non-venomous fins create a mane-like outline.1
  • Adults can grow up to 47 cm long.1

Kitera okutabulwa ne: Pterois miles is a similar relative, and both species are invasive in the same areas.1

Amaanyi g'obusagwa

Amaggwa ag'obusagwa

Amaggwa amasongovu ge galimu obusagwa. Okukirinnyako oba okukikwata kiruma.

Obusagwa bwakyo bukola ki?

Its venomous spines are used purely for defence. A sting can cause extreme pain, and possibly headaches, vomiting and breathing difficulties.1

Kirina akabi kenkana wa eri abantu?

Its sting is usually not fatal to humans. Some people are more sensitive to the venom than others, so the effects can be more serious for them.1

Kikola ki nga kitidde?

When threatened, it turns its venomous dorsal spines towards the attacker, even if it has to swim upside down.1

Amaggwa gaakyo bwe gakufumita

  • A common treatment is soaking the affected area in hot water, as very few hospitals carry specific treatments. Immediate emergency medical attention is strongly recommended, because some people react more strongly than others.1
  • Teeka ekiwundu mu mazzi agookya, agookya nga omuntu bw'asobola okugumiikiriza nga tegamwokya (gagezese n'omukono gwo), okumala eddakiika 30 okutuuka ku 90. Funa obuyambi bw'abasawo, naddala ku stonefish ne stingray.
