This type contains the tetrodotoxin venom, which can cause serious health problems and even death if consumed. If you grasp it, you are advised to treat it carefully and avoid direct contact, the Institute of Oceanography and Fishing warned.
Besides poison, the fish has a strong jaw and sharp teeth, so its bite can cause serious injury. Although it is still rare in our sea, its numbers are expected to rise, as it is a rapidly spreading invading species.
The silver - line powder fish (Lagocephalus sceleratus) naturally lives in tropical parts of the Indian and Pacific oceans. It was first registered in the Mediterranean Sea in 2003 near the coast of Turkey and the Adriatic in 2012.
It's a Lespsyan migrant that entered the sea across the Suez Canal. His poison attacks the nervous system, causes paralysis, and is not destroyed by cooking.
It is important to note that this fish is not edible, and its consumption can be fatal.
