The yellow boxfish is a box-shaped fish with a hard, rigid body and bright yellow skin with black spots. It lives on coral reefs across the Indo-Pacific, from the Red Sea and east Africa to Hawaii and northern New Zealand. It is special because it can release a toxic mucus when stressed, which harms other fish nearby.1

Imbaraga z'uburozi

Uburozi mu ruhu rwayo

Uruhu rwayo rufite uburozi. Ni bibi kuyikoraho, kuyirigata cyangwa kuyirya.

Uburozi bwayo bukora iki?

When stressed, it secretes a toxic mucus containing a neurotoxin called ostracitoxin, which attacks the nerves. This toxin is highly harmful to marine fish: it breaks down their red blood cells, which then clump together. Nearby fish may be killed when they are exposed to it.1

Ikora iki iyo ifite ubwoba?

When threatened, it releases toxic mucus, and its bright yellow and black colours warn predators to stay away.1

Niba hari uwayikozeho cyangwa uwayiriye

  • Niba hari uwayiriye cyangwa afite ibimenyetso nyuma yo kuyirya: hamagara ako kanya nimero y'ubutabazi cyangwa ikigo gishinzwe uburozi.

Irinde akaga

  • Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
  • Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
  • Niba wayikozeho cyangwa wayiriye: ntukube amaso cyangwa umunwa, karaba intoki kandi ushake ubufasha bwa muganga.

Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Uburozi bwayo buriho gusa kugira ngo hatagira ikiyirya. Ibindi ku kwirinda

Ibintu by'ukuri

1

Engineers have studied boxfish to inspire designs for a concept car, bridge box girders and an airship.1

2

The carapace was once thought to help stability, but it was found to slightly increase drag and make the fish less stable.1

3

The fish can make humming and clicking sounds using the muscles of its swim bladder.1

4

The toxic mucus contains a bacterium, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which may play a role in the fish's defence.1

5

Juvenile fish are brighter yellow than adults, and this bright colour is thought to deter predators early in life.1

6

Boxfish are strong, swift swimmers despite their stiff, box-shaped bodies.1

Usenya ibinyoma

Ikinyoma: Boxfish are weak swimmers because of their boxy shape.

Ukuri: Boxfish are surprisingly strong swimmers. Their shape creates swirling water patterns that help them steer through reefs and make sharp turns.1
