(live here in the sea) - The generational hahron fish, which was released on Saturday, 16/11/24, to Kiryat Yam beach, is not only beautiful, but also a potential threat to bathers. His appearance on the shores of Israel raises questions about his living environment, his behavior and the degree of danger involved in meeting him. Let's dive deeper into the story of this impressive fish.
Zaharon Hador: a beautiful and captivating predator
The hazron fish, which originates from the Red Sea, invaded Israel's shores more than a decade ago. While it is less active during the day, in the evening the harron becomes a particularly effective predator, which gives it a unique status in the ecosystem of the country's coasts.
Hiding under the water: the house of Haharon
Haharon Hador usually settles in an environment rich in reefs, caves and sunken ships. The "Sparta" reef in Bat Galim and the sunken ships near it are a paradise for the development of the species. But not infrequently fish are thrown onto the beach, and the reasons for this remain speculative. Without a thorough examination of the fish's stomach and its tissues, the cause of death cannot be determined.
Zaharon's sting: a reminder of the dangers of the sea
While the hahron's venom is not fatal, it can cause medical complications and severe pain. The instructions in the case of a bite are to soak the affected limb in warm water and go to the emergency room as soon as possible. The venom remains active for up to 48 hours even in dead fish, so it is important to avoid contact, even when the fish appears lifeless.
An important reminder for bathers and fishermen
The hahron fish does not live in large flocks and is very territorial. His warning signs, such as the opening of his fins, are clear and require attention. Although its meat is considered delicious and even approved for consumption, its cleaning process is very dangerous, so it is recommended to avoid it.
The appearance of the hahron on the shores of the country is a reminder that the sea is full of surprises - some spectacular, some threatening. Observing the rules of caution can make meeting him intriguing and enriching, but safe.
An important and certainly interesting update. What bothers me the most - the Nature and Parks Authority that does nothing and half nothing to actually fight the invasion of the Hazarron that may eliminate the marine life and the local fishing on the Mediterranean coast of the State of Israel
Dear Moti, what an interesting article! This is definitely an intriguing and amazing fish although very poisonous and stinging to humans. I have learned a lot from the information you have posted here. I saw the goldfish in a commercial aquarium when I was in Korea, really spectacular but deadly as well. It's good that you wrote here that you shouldn't touch them even if the fish isn't alive! Important to know! Keep writing such interesting articles! Cheers!
I knew that it was forbidden to send the mermaid to a simple urban kindergarten, instead of sending her to a kindergarten inside Atlantis.
Miserliness, they tried to save a million shekels on a garden, now we will have to face if her new friends are from there.
peace. what does it matter
And many will come.
It's the way of the world...lots of dynamics.
