Red lionfish

Pterois volitans

O imenu: 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

Kaj je?

It eats crustaceans such as shrimps and crabs, other invertebrates and small fish, including young lionfish. It corners prey with its large fins, then swallows the prey whole, mostly hunting from late afternoon to dawn.1

Kako jo prepoznaš

White stripes alternate with red, maroon or brown stripes.1

Long, non-venomous fins create a mane-like outline.1
Adults can grow up to 47 cm long.1

Pogosto zamenjujejo z: Pterois miles is a similar relative, and both species are invasive in the same areas.1

Moč strupa

Strupene bodice

Ostre bodice nosijo strup. Če stopiš nanjo ali jo primeš, boli.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

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

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: ResnoČe te zbode z bodicami, pojdi k zdravniku. Smrtni primeri so zelo redki.

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

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

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

Če te zbode z bodicami

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
Rano daj v vročo vodo, tako vročo, kot jo poškodovanec prenese, ne da bi se opekel (preizkusi jo s svojo roko), za 30 do 90 minut. Poišči zdravniško pomoč, še posebej pri kamnitih ribah in morskih bičih.

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
Če te zbode z bodicami: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

About 93% of the invasive lionfish population is the red lionfish.1

It strikes at prey that comes within 9 cm of its mouth, drawing the prey in with a sudden rush of water.1

Lionfish reproduce monthly, which helps their numbers grow quickly in new areas.1

Lionfish larvae hatch 36 hours after fertilisation.1

The larval stage is the shortest part of its life, lasting about one month.1
