Triggerfish Attack

  • Unknowingly I got too close to the nest of a titan triggerfish, Balistoides viridescens, and it made the fish really angry. These are big fish with powerful teeth, so I'm glad I managed to escape without any injuries! Dauin, Negros Island, Philippines, filmed with an Olympus TG4.

    For those who don’t know triggerfish have a bite strong enough to easily disassemble lobsters. So it’s like trying to swim away from a fish sized hole puncher, so it’s way more scary than it seems.

    Yea I've seen these around while diving. One of the few things in the ocean that worry me. Kicking away with fins out and going horizontal instead of vertical as the diver did here is the way to go. Triggerfish view their territory as a cone so the cone is narrowest at the bottom near their home and as you go up higher in the water the cone expands out further.

      That little sucker got me with some hard nips to my legs that surprised me at first .
      Then it kept coming at me and I had to fend it off for about 10 yards, and then it went back to where it all started. After talking to a local , it turns out the trigger fish can be very territorial.

      Triggerfish can do some real damage to a human because of their teeth. The reason for the attack was the diver swam through its territory. It was protecting its eggs. He did do the right thing, though. Swimming horizontally takes you out of its territory while swimming upward will only result in the Triggerfish attacking you even more fiercely since its territory goes vertically from the bottom to the surface.

      Also, their skin is SUPER tough. Like, when you catch some, and you're cleaning them, you try cutting through it with a knife and you stand there with your jaw on the floor in amazement at how unbelievably hard it is to try to cut through it. Like rawhide leather mixed with Kevlar.

    We have this less than 100 mm long cave fish called a "Bug-eyed Big-eye" which feeds during the night at the waters edge, especially around the mouths of estuaries. During the day, you can find schools often as many as 30 strong, hanging near the ceiling in caves, about 20 feet below low water.
    NORMALLY they are chill, and when you go poke your head in the cave looking for crayfish, they just dance around a bit, don't even seem frightened of you.
    But one time, skin-diving with just a mask and flippers, I put my head into a cave about as big as an airline toilet, reached out for a crayfish, and what seemed to be ALL the Bug-eye Big-eyes in the world just bit my face, arm, ears, and lips, all at once.
    It gave me such a fright, I was lucky to make it back to the surface because I cracked my head on the rock backing out of the cave. I had about a dozen little bleeding bite marks on my face, they meant business !. And it was the same thing, they lay their eggs communally, and all protect them.

      Where is this? Do you know the scientific name of that fish?

    • @uncletiggermclaren7592
      @uncletiggermclaren7592 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It was Great Barrier Island, New Zealand, where I did most of my diving/fishing/living as a young man. Whangaparapara, to be exact.
      I think it is Pempheris adspersa but the picture of it I can find is both a different colour, and a slightly different shape.
      Which of course might mean nothing more than my memory being faulty.
      I saw them at depth in caves with a torch, or at night with a torch for just a few seconds at the shoreline, where they were of course feeding under the surface.
      That is how I first got to learn their name, I had seen them while diving, probably everyone does. But you see so many different fish. We had been fishing, came back on a still night, were putting the boat away and I turned the torch on the out-flow of a creek as it spilled out of a culvert, and the pool was full of them.
      I said "What is this one?" and my nephew, who is now a Dr of Biology and works for a Marine Institute took one look and reeled off all sorts of information. @@pacificklaus8189
