The devil firefish, also called the common lionfish, is a striped fish with long, feathery fins. It lives in the Indian Ocean, from the Red Sea to Indonesia, and has also spread into the Mediterranean, the east coast of the United States and the Caribbean. Its fin spines are venomous and can cause severe pain, so give it plenty of room.1

Ekhaya

It is usually found in areas with crevices or lagoons, often on the outer slopes of coral reefs. In the daytime it hides in crevices.1

Ubude

Sitya ntoni?

Indlela yokusiqaphela

Colour ranges from reddish to tan or grey.1
Many thin, dark, vertical bars run across its head and body.1
The dorsal fin looks feathery, and the pectoral fins are wing-like.1
It grows up to 35 cm (14 in) long.1
Its head is less angular than that of the red lionfish.1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: It is frequently confused with its close relative, the red lionfish (Pterois volitans), which is very similar in appearance. The red lionfish does not occur in the Red Sea, and its head is more angular.1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Amava anetyhefu

Amava abukhali aphethe ityhefu. Ukusinyathela okanye ukusibamba kubuhlungu.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

The fin spines are highly venomous. A sting can cause extreme pain, vomiting, convulsions, minor paralysis and breathing difficulties.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

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

The fin spines have caused death in some reported cases, but a sting is rarely fatal. Some people are more sensitive to the venom than others, and symptoms vary in severity from person to person.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

Its venomous spines help protect it, which is probably why it has few predators.1

Ukuba amava aso ayakugwaza

Immediate emergency medical attention is strongly recommended after any sting, even for healthy adults, because reactions vary and can be unpredictable.1
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

Moray eels have shown resistance to its spines, and they are now known to be natural predators of this fish in the Red Sea.1

The red lionfish is thought to have arisen from hybrids between this species and a related lionfish.1

It was first recorded in the Mediterranean off Israel in 1991, after entering through the Suez Canal. It is now common in the eastern Mediterranean.1
