Dangerous bone-crushing fish in vacation waters
The article discusses the expansion of the toxic silver-cheeked toadfish, an invasive species in the Mediterranean, which poses risks to swimmers and fishermen. Authorities warn against handling the fish due to its powerful jaws capable of causing injuries and bleeding, and its flesh containing deadly tetrodotoxin, which makes it unsafe to eat. Measures such as floating barriers have been implemented to protect water users, and the fish’s population growth is primarily due to warming sea temperatures and lack of natural predators.
