TOP TEN RISKY FISH

TOP TEN RISKY FISH

1.PUFFER FISH - Pufferfish can inflate into a ball shape to evade predators. Also known as blowfish, these clumsy swimmers fill their elastic stomachs with huge amounts of water (and sometimes air) and blow themselves up to several times their normal size. Some pufferfish species also have spines on their skin to ward off predators.

2.RED LION FISH - Red lionfish are native to the reefs and rocky crevices of the Indo-Pacific, although they've found their way to warm ocean habitats worldwide. The largest of lionfish can grow to about 15 inches in length, average is closer to 1 foot.

3.CANDIRU - The candiru, sometimes known as the “penis fish,” is a small Amazonian catfish. It's reported to lodge itself in the urethra of people who may be urinating in the water. Despite the unsettling stories surrounding this fish, there's skepticism about whether the fish actually attacks humans.

4.GREAT WHITE SHARK- White sharks are large bulky fishes with a body shaped like a blunt torpedo. They have a sharply pointed conical snout, large pectoral and dorsal fins, and a strong crescent-shaped tail. Only the belly of white sharks is whitish. They have a contrasting pattern of dark blue, gray, or brown on their back and sides.

5.MORAY EEL - Moray eels are very colorful. They can be black, gray, brown, yellow, green, blue, orange, or white. All these colors can appear as stripes, spots, or some other pattern on the eel. Some moray eels, such as the banded moray eel, can even change their colors to better camouflage.

6.TIGER FISH - Like the piranha, individual tigerfish have interlocking, razor-sharp teeth, along with streamlined, muscular bodies, and are extremely aggressive and capable predators who often hunt in groups. The African tigerfish is the first freshwater fish recorded and confirmed to attack and catch birds in flight.

7. PIRANAH - Most species of piranha never grow larger than 60 cm (2 feet) long. Colours vary from silvery with orange undersides to almost completely black. These common fishes have deep bodies, saw-edged bellies, and large, generally blunt heads with strong jaws bearing sharp, triangular teeth that meet in a scissorlike bite.

8.STONE FISH - Usually are a mottled greenish-brown in colour with its skin having many stone-like appendages which gives it an almost perfect camouflage against the background it prefers. The most striking feature of this species is its spine of 13 grooved hypodermic-like projections, each capable of piercing a sandshoe.

9. ATLANTIC MANTA - Manta rays are recognized by their large diamond-shaped body with elongated wing-like pectoral fins, ventrally-placed gill slits, laterally-placed eyes, and wide, terminal mouths.

10. ELECTRIC EEL - The electric eel has a slender, snake-like body and flattened head. Its thick, scaleless skin is generally dark gray to brown, and its underside is a yellow-orange color. Similar to other eel shaped fish, the electric eel lacks pelvic fins. It has a small, or reduced, caudal fin and also lacks dorsal fins.
