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

Forza dal tissi

Spinas tissientadas

Spinas pizzadas portan il tissi. Sch'ins passa sin el u al piglia, fa quai mal.

Tge fa ses tissi?

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

Quant privlus è el per umans?

Privel per umans: DolurusQuai po far propi mal, ma i n'è bunamain mai grav.

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

Sche sias spinas ta furan

Treatment is often done by soaking the sting site in hot water.1
