What is it bloated?
Pufferfish is a salty fish and mouths in the Tetraodontidae family, which is further divided into 20 genera and approximately 150 species. Pufferfish are known for many names, including Blowfish, Globefish and Swellfish. Many kinds of cloud are poisonous. Pufferfish also has a unique self -defense mechanism that allows it to enlarge its perimeter more than three times its normal size, giving Pufferfish its different names.
Most varieties are relatively small, ranging from three to 15 inches (7.5 to 39 cm) in length, although some species can reach up to 24 inches (60 cm). Their bodies in the shape of the club are covered with fine spines that seem to appear. They have pectoral fins on both sides, as well as dorsal and abdominal fins located near a small tail. Their convex eyes are facing forward and can move independently. The surname Tetradontidae refers to four large teeth in the upper and lower jaws.
Pufferfish arredie from tropical waters. Room on a crustacean and molluscs using their strongH jaws and sharp teeth to crush the shells. They swim slowly because of their shape and configuration of the fins, so they rely on the inflation mechanism to avert predators. The inflating mechanism works using a highly expandable stomach that allows it to fill with water or air, causing the appearance of a similar balloon. Some also inflate colors like a chameleon.
poisonous pufferfish contains neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin. The poison is concentrated in the liver, ovaries, eggs and to some extent in the intestines and skin. Some predators of poisonous inflation are not affected by toxins. Some cloud varieties are naturally non -toxic and some commercially farmed pufferfish are specially bred to eliminate toxins.
Pufferfish are known in Japan as "Fugu" here are considered a dangerously edible delicacy. The city of Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi prefecture is known for commercial cultivationFugu. In Japan, almost 10,000 tons (8928.57 metric tons) are consumed every year.
Fugu food in the restaurant can be quite expensive and usually consists of several meals. Food can include raw fugu Sashimi, Fugu-chiri soup and fried fugu kara-season. Fugu should always be prepared by a trained chef with a license. The food should be consumed slowly and if dullness or armor is felt at any moment, medical assistance should be required immediately.
