Synanceia
''Synanceia'' is a genus of fish of the family Synanceiidae, the stonefishes, whose members are venomous, dangerous, and even fatal to humans. It is one of the most venomous fish currently known in the world.〔Smith, M.M. & Heemstra, P.C. (eds) 2003. ''Smiths' Sea Fishes'' ISBN 1-86872-890-0〕〔http://a-z-animals.com/animals/puffer-fish/〕 They are found in the coastal regions of the Indo-Pacific.
== Habitat and characteristics ==
Synanceia are primarily marine, though some species are known to live in rivers. Its species have potent neurotoxins secreted from glands at the base of their needle-like dorsal fin spines which stick up when disturbed or threatened.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Notesthe robusta - Family Scorpaenidae )〕 The vernacular name of the species, the stonefish, derives from the stonefish's ability to camouflage itself with a grey and mottled color similar to the color of a stone.〔Pocock, C.A. "(Romancing the Reef: history, heritage and the hyper-real )." ''James Cook University Ph.D. Thesis.'' 2003. Accessed 2009-06-14.〕 Swimmers may not notice them, and may inadvertently step on them, triggering a sting. When the stonefish is disturbed, it may inject an amount of venom proportional to the amount of pressure applied to it.
