Japanese pufferfish
The Japanese pufferfish, also called the tiger puffer or torafugu, is a fish that lives in cold, shallow seas off East Asia. It is famous as a food in Japan, but its liver and ovaries contain a strong toxin, so it must be prepared with great care. It is also a key animal in genetics research.1

Amandla oshevu
Siyingozi kuphela uma kukhona okusidlayo.
Ushevu waso wenzani?
This pufferfish is poisonous rather than venomous. Some of its organs contain tetrodotoxin, a highly toxic substance, which is concentrated in the liver and ovaries, slightly present in the intestines and flesh, and absent from the skin and testes.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KuyabulalaEsinye sezilwane eziyingozi kakhulu emhlabeni.Its organs are highly toxic, so the liver and ovaries are the dangerous parts to eat. Only the flesh and skin are the parts that are safe to eat in regulated preparation.1
Uma umuntu esithintile noma esidlile
- Uma umuntu esidlile noma enezimpawu ngemva kokusidla: shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo noma isikhungo soshevu (poison centre) ngokushesha.
Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala
Hlala uphephile
- Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
- Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Uma usithintile noma usidlile: ungahlikihli amehlo noma umlomo wakho, geza izandla zakho futhi uthole usizo lwezokwelapha.
Asikuzingeli wena. Ushevu waso ukhona nje ukuze kungabikho okusidlayo. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Sikhulu kangakanani?
Side kangakanani?

singabhukuda ubude bechibi elikhulu lokubhukuda (50 m) ngemizuzwana engu-45Japanese pufferfish mkhulu kangakanani uma uqhathanisa NAWE?
Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.
Sishesha kangakanani?
Amaqiniso
A genetically modified type called 22-seiki fugu, meaning 22nd-century fugu, has had four leptin receptor genes removed, which increases appetite. It grows on average 1.9 times faster than normal torafugu and is sold as food.1
Its genome is one of the smallest known among vertebrates, and it was the first vertebrate genome after the human genome to be made publicly available.1
Its genome has about 6% of the base pairs of the human genome, yet it has 22 chromosomes, close to the 23 in humans.1
It is one of the most valuable commercial fishes in Japan.1
It is used as a reference genome to help identify genes in human and other vertebrate genomes.1
