CAUGHT IN THE ADRIATIC SEA, IS THE MOST POISONOUS FISH IN THE WORLD: People, beware of the killer!

  • 0

One of the most poisonous fish in the world - four-tooth caught on Tuesday in the Bay of Lapad near Dubrovnik, was confirmed by Dr. James Dulcic from the Split Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries.

This is a fish whose poison is tetrodotoxin, 1,250 times more powerful than cyanide, and its consumption leads to paralysis and death.

- The fish was first caught by a fisherman on Tuesday - said Dulcic, noting that people have to be extremely careful with species that they do not know, because their consumption can lead to paralysis and death.

Dulcic believes that urgent training is required because this is a pernicious type, and in the Adriatic there have been many reported cases of it being caught. Davor Lucic from the Dubrovnik Institute of Sea said how this is the second catch this year. Even though there is no research that shows that the fish is spreading within the Adriatic Sea, in the eastern Mediterranean it has become a dominant species.

- She's in some sort of expansion, her sightings are rare, but in the eastern Mediterranean she has become one of the dominant species. Fishermen often find her in their nets - stressed Lucic and added that indicators show that it is more frequent even though they cannot confirm the establishment of a stable population in the Adriatic Sea.

- It is a species that resides in the Indian Ocean, and comes to us through the Suez Canal because of climate changes and increasing sea temperatures - said the expert, adding how it is not recommended to touch it with bare hands.

Otherwise, in recent years the pharmaceutical industry is showing growing interest in collecting the poison that accumulates in tissues, especially the external nodes and liver of this fish species.
