Red lionfish

Pterois volitans

Kuhusu jina: 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

Nyumbani

It is a coral reef fish. The red lionfish was likely first introduced off the Florida coast in the early to mid-1980s, almost certainly from the aquarium trade.1

Hula nini?

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

Jinsi ya kumtambua

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

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: Pterois miles is a similar relative, and both species are invasive in the same areas.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Miiba yenye sumu

Miiba mikali hubeba sumu. Kumkanyaga au kumshika kunauma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

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

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: MbayaMiiba yake ikikuchoma, nenda kwa daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.

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

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

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

Miiba yake ikikuchoma

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
Weka jeraha kwenye maji ya moto, moto kiasi ambacho mtu anaweza kuvumilia bila kuungua (pima kwanza kwa mkono wako), kwa dakika 30 hadi 90. Tafuta msaada wa kitabibu, hasa kwa samaki-jiwe na taa.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
Miiba yake ikikuchoma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

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
