Ekhaya
Stonecats live in large creeks to small rivers, usually in gently to fast-moving riffles with rocky bottoms. They also live in natural lakes such as Lake Erie, on rock and gravel bars that get strong wave action.1

Amava anetyhefu

Amava abukhali aphethe ityhefu. Ukusinyathela okanye ukusibamba kubuhlungu.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Stonecats have venom glands, mainly at the bases of the pectoral spines. Their venom causes extreme pain, similar to that of a wasp sting. Other members of this catfish family cause irritating wounds from their spines, but the stonecat's venom is stronger.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKunokuba buhlungu ngokwenene, kodwa phantse akusoze kube kubi kakhulu.

The spines can deliver venom that causes extreme pain, similar to a wasp sting. Keep clear of its spines.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

Stonecats hide near or under stones, and their venom glands sit at the bases of their pectoral spines.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

A stonecat's pectoral spines carry venom glands, which makes them far more painful than the spines of most related catfish.1

2

Its eggs are amber-yellow and very large for a fish, measuring between 3.5 and 4 mm across.1

3

Stonecats are used as indicators of water quality, because they are absent from highly polluted or heavily silted areas.1

4

Stonecats form monogamous pairs for breeding, and they spawn when water temperatures reach 25 °C.1

5

The upper jaw of the stonecat projects beyond the lower jaw.1
