Ekhaya

It is found mainly in coral reefs, and also in estuaries, tide pools and open coasts. Juveniles form dense, ball-shaped schools, while adults hide under ledges during the day.1

Amava anetyhefu

Amava abukhali aphethe ityhefu. Ukusinyathela okanye ukusibamba kubuhlungu.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

The venom is made of crinotoxins and plototoxins. It mainly destroys red blood cells, and also causes swelling, pain and muscle spasms. Symptoms range from mild to severe and include extreme pain, dizziness, redness, swelling, tissue death, numbness, vomiting, breathing difficulty, shock and sepsis.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

When threatened, it uses the venomous spines on its fins to sting.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

Its skin also has cells that release venom, not just its spines.1

In laboratory tests, its sting was lethal to fish, crabs and rodents.1

Juveniles gather in ball-shaped schools of about 100 fish.1

It reached the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal, and has been recorded there since 2002.1

Since 2019 it has been on the European Union's list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern. This means it cannot be imported, bred, transported, sold or released into the environment in the EU.1
