The African lionfish is a striking marine fish from the scorpionfish and lionfish family. It lives in the tropical Indian Ocean, where it is often found on soft, muddy sea floors. Its spines can harm people, so it is worth knowing what it looks like.1

Ekhaya
It is a rare visitor to rocky bottoms on deep offshore reefs. It is usually found on soft or muddy sea floors with thick ridges of rubble, among rich growths of sponges and other invertebrates.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

  • Many brown to brownish red bars run along the body, and the bars near the base of the tail are thin and wavy.1
  • A brownish red spot, smaller than the pupil of the eye, sits on the lower gill cover.1
  • The soft-rayed parts of the dorsal, anal and tail fins are see-through, with small brownish red spots scattered on the rays.1
  • The pelvic fin is blackish.1
  • The dorsal fin has 13 spines and 10 soft rays. It has no tentacles above the eyes, or only very small ones.1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: A closely related species, Pterois paucispinula, lives in the Western Pacific Ocean. The African lionfish is limited to the Indian Ocean, so the location of a sighting helps tell the two apart.1

Amava anetyhefu

Amava abukhali aphethe ityhefu. Ukusinyathela okanye ukusibamba kubuhlungu.

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Kubi kakhuluUkuba amava aso ayakugwaza, yiya kugqirha. Ukufa kunqabe kakhulu.

Its spines can harm people who come into contact with it.1

Ukuba amava aso ayakugwaza

  • Faka inxeba emanzini ashushu, ashushu kangangoko umntu angakwazi ukunyamezela ngaphandle kokutshiswa (wavavanye ngesandla sakho), imizuzu engama-30 ukuya kwengama-90. Fumana uncedo lwezonyango, ingakumbi kwii-stonefish nakwii-stingray.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

  • Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
  • Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Ukuba amava aso ayakugwaza: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

1

In 2014, scientists described a similar species from the Western Pacific Ocean. They found that the African lionfish was restricted to the Indian Ocean, and that the new species had been overlooked before.1

When Smith described it, he thought it looked most like a fish from Hawaii, Pterois sphex.1
