škarpinica

Small red scorpion fish Small red scorpion fish is a small fish, measuring up to 200 grams (the largest specimen caught was 24 cm) and is very similar to its bigger cousin red scorpion fish. It lives on rocky ground, at depths of 5-70 m and is an excellent predator that feeds on smaller animals and fish. Like most fish from their families this fish has also a venomous sting. The wound can be very painful, causing problems to sensitive people and must be put in hot water as soon as possible, because the toxin is thermolabile.

Škarpinica Škarpinica je riba iz porodice bodeljki.Kod nas se još naziva i bodeč crveni, bodečić crveni, škrpinica. Ovo je mala riba, veličine do 200 grama (najveći primjerak uhvaćen je imao 24 cm) i koja jako sliči svojoj većoj rođakinji škarpini. Živi na kamenitom terenu, na dubinama, od 5-70 m, gdje je vrstan grabežljivac koji se hrani manjim životinjicama i ribama. Kao i većina riba iz svoje porodice i ova riba ima otrovan ubod, vrlo bolan, a kod osjetljivijih ljudi može uzrokovati i probleme. Ubodeno mjesto treba staviti u čim vrućiju vodu jer joj je otrov termolabilan.
