The barbfish is a small, well-camouflaged sea fish that lives in the Western Atlantic. It hides on the seabed and waits for prey, and its fin spines carry venom. It can cause severe pain and serious illness, so it is important to recognise it and keep well away from it.1

The venom is found along the spines of the dorsal, pelvic and anal fins. It contains neurotoxins, which attack the nerves, cytotoxins, which damage cells, and potent hemotoxins, which damage blood. A sting causes intense, immediate pain and swelling that can spread to the groin or armpit and last for several hours. Whole-body effects can include sweating, pale skin, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, heart problems, unconsciousness and shock.1

It is venomous and can be dangerous to people. Its sting can occasionally cause death.1

When threatened, it raises its dorsal fins, which carry venom spines, and arches its body into a threatening pose.1
