Anatomy
One fish, six details that give it away
Il quarto raggio della pinna dorsale si allunga in un filo bianco, a volte più lungo del corpo. È il carattere che dà il nome comune e che, in immersione, si legge prima del resto della livrea.
Venomous
Some you do not touch
Nine species carry a risk card in three blocks: why, what to do now, what to do after. Written to be read on the boat, not in a library.
Why
Thirteen hollow spines linked to venom glands.
Now
Hot water 40–45 °C, 30–90 minutes. Keep the limb still.
After
Medical check: tetanus, infection, spine fragments.
Field orientation, not a substitute for emergency services or dive first-aid training.
