The presence of the toxic fish Lagocephalus sceleratus, known as the rabbitfish, has raised concerns among beachgoers in Cyprus. The Department of Fisheries and Marine Research has issued a warning advising the public against consuming the fish, which is unsuitable for eating due to its potential to cause severe food poisoning. The department has emphasized that while there have been recent reports causing panic, there have been no recorded attacks on bathers by this species in the past two decades.
Authorities clarified that the real risks associated with the rabbitfish stem from its consumption rather than its interaction with swimmers. They have urged individuals to avoid harassing or feeding this wild species, as it poses a danger primarily in the context of fishing and the marine ecosystem. Despite the heightened awareness around the fish, officials reassured the public that swimming in the waters where the rabbitfish is present does not present a direct threat to personal safety.
