Namuhla sizokhuluma ngenhlanzi ebukeka ngokukhethekile ngokuziqhenya kwayo nengozi. Imayelana nenhlanzi. Yinhlanzi evame ukuhlala emanzini afudumele futhi inobuthi. Kubangele ukufa kwezilwane ezingenakubalwa kanye nemonakalo eminingi kubantu. Igama lesayensi IPterois antennata futhi singabomndeni weScorpanidaes, sethula kuwe inhlanzi.
Ngabe ufuna ukwazi zonke izici zale nhlanzi nokuthi itholakala kuphi?
Izici ze-Lionfish
Kungenzeka ukuthi le nhlanzi yayikhona ngephutha kufakwe emanzini oLwandle iMedithera futhi, njengesilwane esihlaselayo, sesibe inhlupho nothando olukhulu kwezinye izinhlobo zasolwandle kanye nezokuvakasha ezingasogwini.
Futhi ngukuthi, yize le nhlanzi ingeqi ku-20 cm ubude futhi isisindo sayo kungavamile ukuba ngaphezu kwekhilogremu eyodwa, iyabukisa ngokweqile futhi iyingozi. Inamaphiko amafushane wepectoral futhi inombala ohlukahlukene kakhulu, phakathi kwawo okubomvu, okusawolintshi nemivimbo yayo emnyama engacacile.
Ukubonakala konke kwale nhlanzi kuwuphawu lwengozi kwezinye izinhlobo ezihlala emanzini afudumele. Amaphiko abo emhlane anemisebe engenalo ulwelwesi phakathi kwabo, yize imisebe ye-pectoral yenza. Inezimpondo ezinde ngaphezu kweso ezilingisa izimpondo futhi ezenza le nhlanzi ibukeke iyingozi kakhulu.
Isikhali sayo esikhulu sokuzivikela sihlala emaphikweni aso omhlane angu-18, ngoba zibukhali. Ngezeluleko zamaphiko, ikhipha ushevu okuthi, ngezinhlobo zosayizi omncane, ubulale. Lapho ukulunywa kwale nhlanzi kuthinta izinto ezinkulu ezinjengabantu, iyakwazi ukudala ubuhlungu obukhulu endaweni ethintekile, izinkinga zokuphefumula kanye nesicanucanu.
Ukusatshalaliswa nendawo yokuhlala
Ekuqaleni i-lionfish ihlala emanzini afudumele asezindaweni ezinamadwala nezixhobo zamakhorali zaseNdiya nasePacific. Ngemuva kokulahleka okuthile ngezinhlobo ezithile zezinto, ezinye izinhlanzi lapho izinhlanzi zahlala ziboshelwe khona, inetha lokudoba noma eminye imithombo yokuhamba, le nhlanzi itholakala kuzicucu ezinkulu zilima amanzi oLwandle i-Atlantic, uLwandle lweCaribbean kanye neMedithera.
Izinhlobo eziningi de peces, ama-crustaceans kanye nama-mollusk ahamba enamathele engxenyeni yemikhumbi futhi akwazi ukusuka endaweni yawo yemvelo. Uma indawo ezifika kuyo zinezimo ezivumela ukuba zizale futhi zibe nesimo esihle, lolu hlobo luyoqala ukusabalala njengokungathi luwumqedazwe futhi lungathinta izinhlobo zemvelo, luzisuse endaweni yazo.
Lezi zinhlanzi zizala ngokushesha okukhulu futhi ngenxa yokudoba ngokungakhethi nokungekho emthethweni kwezinhlobo ezidlayo ze-lionfish, njengo-shark, kubangele ukuthi le nhlanzi isabalale ezindaweni eziningi emhlabeni ube yisifo nosongo yezinhlobo zezinhlanzi ezivela ezindaweni eziseduze nemifula yamakhorali.
Ukudla
Inhlanzi yebhubesi ikakhulukazi kudla inyama. Zingela inqwaba yezimfanzi, ama-crustaceans, nezinye izinhlanzi. Ngenxa yesisindo sayo esincane nezimpiko zayo zasemuva ezinobuthi, inamandla amakhulu okuzingela inyamazane yayo. Ngenxa yokubukeka nemibala yayo, ingafihlwa eduze kwamatshe ngobuciko obukhulu futhi lapho izingela, inejubane elikhulu lokushaya.
Imvamisa ihlala yodwa futhi inendawo enkulu. Ngokuvamile bazingela ebusuku noma ekuseni kakhulu ukuze bacashe kangcono futhi babe nethuba elikhulu lokuphumelela. Ukuphumula nokuzifihla ezilwaneni ezizingelayo zicasha phakathi kwemifantu yamadwala lapho zenza indawo enkulu yokucasha.
Ukuzala
I-Lionfish inomkhiqizo weqembu. Futhi ngukuthi, ngesikhathi sokukhwelana, abesilisa bakha iqembu lapho bavundisa khona abesifazane abayisishiyagalombili. Amaqembu wokukhwelana avaliwe ngokuphelele futhi anendawo enkulu ngakho-ke, lapho i-lionfish isizalisana, kuyingozi kakhulu ukusondela endaweni yabo. Uma owesilisa ezama ukungena eqenjini lapho sebekhwelana, kuzoba nokulwa okungapheli lapho omunye wabo kungenzeka agcine efile. Ozonqoba leyo mpi uzoba nelungelo lokungena eqenjini labesifazane.
Abesifazane ziyakwazi ukuzala phakathi kwamaqanda ayizinkulungwane ezimbili nezilishumi nanhlanu kanti amaphuphu azalwa ezinsukwini ezimbili nje kuphela emva kokubeka amaqanda, yingakho ezala ngokushesha. Yize iningi lamaqanda abekwa abesifazane lidliwa yizilwane ezidla ezinye, ukukhula kwenani labantu okutholwa yilezi zinhlobo kunesihluku.
Ezindaweni lapho lezi zinhlobo zihlala kaningi khona, izinhlelo zokulawulwa kwabantu be-lionfish ziyasetshenziswa ukubuyisela ibhalansi yemvelo emanzini futhi kungalimazi ubudlelwano phakathi kwezinhlobo zasolwandle nokusebenza kwazo.
Gastronomy
Ngaphandle kokuthi i-lionfish inobuthi, iyaziwa kakhulu kwi-gastronomy yomhlaba jikelele. Kuyafana naye I-Blowfish, izinhlanzi zibanjelwa izinhloso zokupheka nokulawula inani labantu.
Izidlo ezenziwe nge-lionfish zaziswa kakhulu, kokubili ukunambitheka kwayo okuthambile namasu ayo wokulungiselela acwengisiswe kahle kangangokuthi ngungcweti kuphela okwazi ukuyipheka.
Kumele uqaphele kakhulu ubuthi obuvela ku-shefu obutholakala emaphikweni abo, njengoba bukhona emathunjini abo futhi bungabulala uma budliwe. Ochwepheshe abasebenza ukupheka i-lionfish kufanele bakwenze ngendlela ebucayi kakhulu ukuqeda zonke izindlala ezinoshevu. Uma enye yezindlala iqhuma, zonke izinhlanzi ngeke zisasebenziseka ekhishini.
Baqale basakazekela eJapan, yize namuhla kunemikhankaso ekhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwabo ku-gastronomy yamazwe amaningi aseduze noLwandle lweCaribbean.
Njengoba ukwazi ukubona, i-lionfish iyinhlobo eyingozi kuzo zombili izinhlobo ezihlala kuyo kanye nakubantu abafuna ukukudla. Kubalulekile ukulawula inani lalezi zinhlanzi ukuze uthando lwazo lube ncane futhi ibhalansi yemvelo ibuyiselwe.
