TASSLED SCORPIONFISH

                                  TASSLED SCORPIONFISH 
 
                             

The scorpionfish is a standout amongst the most venomous fish on the planet. It has a few spines connected to venom organs. The toxic substance causes extreme agony and loss of motion. 

From soonest times anglers have trusted in the adequacy of the liver and tissue of scorpionfish connected as a remedy to the injury from the creature. In his 1943 book, Sting-Fish and Seafarer, H M Evans prescribes infusing precious stones of permanganate of potash to ease a scorpionfish sting. This is not found in your normal jumper's emergency treatment unit nowadays. Rather inundate the injury in extremely boiling point water and get medicinal help at the earliest opportunity. 

The scorpionfish is to a great degree all around covered. It can change shading to match its experience and has numerous "tassles" concealing its layout. This Tassled Scorpionfish, Scorpaenopsis oxycephala, lives from 1 to no less than 35 m in the Red Sea and Indo-Pacific. Without a swim bladder, it stays on or close to the base. Torpidly, the fish sits tight for prey to go by then opens its lower jaw and sucks its casualty in. 

Very few creatures go after the scorpionfish, its venom deflecting most. A completely developed octopus however, does not appear to be influenced by the spines and will wrap and eat the scorpionfish.
