Rabbit fish
The rabbit fish is a deep-sea fish with a big head and a long, tapering body. It lives in the north-east Atlantic and the Mediterranean, mostly on muddy seabeds far below the surface. Its spiny back fin can sting, so it is worth knowing what it looks like.1

怎麼認出牠
- Large head with a short snout and an overhanging mouth1
- Tapering body ending in a whip-like tail1
- Tall, triangular top fin, with its spine running past the tip of the fin1
- Silver-green colour with brown spots and white stripes on the head1
常被誤認為: Its close relatives have an anal fin that joins the tail fin. In the rabbit fish, the anal fin is clearly separated from its lancet-shaped tail fin.1
毒液力量
尖銳的棘刺帶著毒液。踩到或抓到牠都會很痛。
牠的毒液有什麼作用?
The spine on its top fin is mildly poisonous. Its sting is painful.1
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。The spine can cause painful stings.1
如果牠的棘刺刺到你
- 把傷口泡在熱水裡,水溫要在傷者能忍受、又不會燙傷的範圍內(先用你自己的手試水溫),泡 30 到 90 分鐘。要就醫,特別是被石頭魚和魟魚刺傷時。
一定要先打緊急電話(112、000、911)。這是一般急救指引,不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識
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。
- 如果被牠的棘刺刺到:保持冷靜,保持不動,打緊急電話(112、000、911)或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子,有照片會很有幫助。
牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己,而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識

小知識
Males have a club-shaped structure with sharp points on the top of the head, which they use to grip the female's fin during mating.1
Despite its odd look, it shares features with sharks, which are its distant relatives.1
It grows slowly and lives a long time. Males can live to about 30 years and females to about 26.1
Males and females live at different depths, and females live deeper for most of the year.1
Its liver oil is rich in fats, so it has been used to make dietary supplements.1
Its diet changes as it grows, from small crustaceans called amphipods to larger crabs and shrimps.1
