The false stonefish is a venomous fish that lives on the seabed in warm seas. It hides among rocks, coral and rubble, where it waits to ambush passing prey. It is worth knowing about because its back spines can give a painful sting.1

Sihlala

Tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans and the Red Sea, from East Africa to Japan, Hawaii, Australia and New Caledonia1

Ekhaya

It lives on the seabed among rubble, seaweed-covered rocks and rocks coated in coralline algae. It is found on reef flats, in lagoons and on the seaward side of reefs, at depths down to about 70 m.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

Broad head with a wide mouth, a humped back and a tapering body1
Rough skin with low cone-shaped bumps, spines and tassels1
Mottled grey and white colouring with reddish-brown blotches, which blends in with stones and coral1
Twelve venomous spines in the dorsal (back) fin1
Inner sides of the broad pectoral (side) fins show orange, black and white blotches1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: It closely resembles the reef stonefish (Synanceia verrucosa), which is why the two are easily confused.1

Amava anetyhefu

Amava abukhali aphethe ityhefu. Ukusinyathela okanye ukusibamba kubuhlungu.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Its venomous spines are in the dorsal fin on its back. They can inflict a painful wound when a person is pricked by them.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

An 1829 account by the zoologists Cuvier and Valenciennes says the venom killed two local people in the Moluccas Islands of Indonesia, after what they described as frightful suffering. Local people there avoided the fish because they saw it as a bad omen.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

When disturbed by a possible predator, it flares its pectoral fins as a warning.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

kufanelekile ukwazi

Iinyaniso

When lit by blue or ultraviolet light, it glows red. This is called biofluorescence, and it may help the fish communicate with others of its kind and aid its camouflage.1

It has twelve venomous spines in its dorsal fin, and it is these spines that make it dangerous.1

Its wide mouth and camouflage let it wait for prey to pass close by before it strikes.1

It is sometimes partly covered with sediment, which helps it stay hidden on the seabed.1
