Green spotted puffer
The green spotted puffer is a small pufferfish with a green body and black spots. It lives in South and Southeast Asia, where it moves between rivers, mangrove forests and salty coastal water. Scientists study it because it has one of the smallest known vertebrate genomes.1

毒素力量
只有被吃下去時才有害。
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 嚴重如果有人吃了牠,要去看醫生。死亡案例非常罕見。Its flesh contains a strong toxin, so it should never be eaten. It is poisonous to eat, not venomous.1
注意安全
- 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
- 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
- 如果你碰了或吃了牠:不要揉眼睛或摸嘴巴,把手洗乾淨,並且就醫。
牠不是想來抓你。牠的毒只是為了不讓別的動物吃掉牠。 更多安全知識

小知識
Its genome is about one-tenth the size of the human genome, yet it has the same number of genes as humans.1
It has the smallest known vertebrate genome, about 340 million base pairs, so it is used as a model organism for genetics.1
Its aggressive nature means it often cannot be kept with other fish in an aquarium.1
It begins life in brackish water and moves to higher salinity water as an adult.1
破解迷思
迷思: The green spotted puffer is a food fish.
真相: It is by no means a food fish. Its flesh is toxic. It has some value as bait.1
