Description
A venomous species, red scorpionfish (Scorpaena scrofa) is a nocturnal predator that dwells in rocky burrows or caves by day. Despite its preference for the ocean floor, its mucus-coated eggs float to the surface. It is a key ingredient in traditional Marseillaise bouillabaisse dish. Anglers need to be wary of the venom-containing spines if they manage to catch one of these fish.
