Description
Weeping toadfish (Torquigener pleurogramma) owes its unusual common name to the vertical dark stripes on its face, which somewhat resemble trails of tears. Like many pufferfish, its flesh is highly toxic and it may cause death to those who attempt to consume it. It should not be eaten under any circumstances.
* Disclaimer: The judgment on toxicity and danger is for reference only. We DO NOT GUARANTEE any accuracy of such judgment. Therefore, you SHALL NOT rely on such judgment. It is IMPORTANT TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE in advance when necessary.
