Türkiye’nin Zehirli Balıklarından Trakonya Balığının Toksik Etkileri

Bu derleme çalışmasında ülkemiz kıyılarında dağılım gösteren trakonya balıklarının zehir ve toksik etki mekanizmaları ile tedavi yolları irdelenmiştir. Trakonya zehri, solungaç kapağı üzerinde bulunan operküler dikende ve 1.dorsal yüzgeçte bulunan 5-8 dorsal dikende bulunur. Trakonya zehirlenmeleri ani bir ağrı, yanma ve iğneleme şeklinde ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu bulguların süresi hastaya, balığın cinsine ve mevsimlere göre değişmektedir. Halk arasında bilinenin aksine acil servis müdahalesi olarak soğuk su yerine etkilenen bölgenin 60-90 dakika yaklaşık 40oC veya daha sıcak suya daldırılması gerekmektedir.

Toxic Effects of Weever Fishes among Poisonous Fishes along the Coast of Turkey

In this review, the mechanism of action of poisons and toxic effects of and treatment methods for the same among weever fishes, which are present along the coast of Turkey, were addressed. Weever fish poison is present in the spicule located on the operculum and in the 5th-8th dorsal spines located on the first dorsal fin. Weever fish poisoning is identified through symptoms of intense pain, burning, and stinging. The duration of these symptoms varies among patients and depends on the species and season. Contrary to common belief, instead of immersion in cold water, immersion in hot water at about ≥40°C is used during emergencies.
