Description
Leatherjacket fish should be handled carefully because of its venomous dorsal and back fins. The fin spines are connected to the glands that produce a toxin that can cause painful wounds in humans. Leatherjacket fish is a popular game fish, and is sold commercially in some Central and South American markets.
