The spines on its fins produce venom. In a study of a related rabbitfish, the venom was found to be similar to stonefish venom.1

E kotsi hakae ho batho?

When eaten, it has been linked to cases of mild ciguatera-like poisoning. Ciguatera is a form of food poisoning caused by toxins in some reef fish.1

E etsang ha e tshohile?

When threatened, it stops suddenly and raises its dorsal, anal and pelvic fins, showing an array of venomous spines around its body.1

Dintlha

1

Its spines are mainly a defence against predators. The highest predation pressure falls on its larvae and planktonic stages.1

2

It came to the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal. It was first recorded off Israel in 1955 and has since spread as far west as the French Mediterranean coast and the Adriatic Sea.1

3

It is a daytime feeder. At night it hides in cavities in the reef.1

4

It is an important fish for fisheries in the Mediterranean. In Kenya, it is caught mainly as bycatch.1
