The weaver fish

In Norway, the weaver fish is known as the viper of the sea, because of the poisonous spines on the front of its dorsal fin and gill covers. If you catch one while fishing you should avoid touching it. Make sure you have your shoes on when you take it off the hook, and kick it carefully back into the water. It isn’t serious if you get stung, but it can be very painful.
