Synanceia genus of fish of the family Synanceiidae
Found in the coastal regions of the Indo-Pacific.
This is a grey fish which possesses multiple venomous spines.
The venom remains stable for up to 48 hours after the fish has died.
This is the most venomous fish known, with venom likened to that of a cobra.
The venom blocks cardiac calcium channels, increases systemic catecholamine release, simultaneously causing diffuse vasodilation and increased tissue destruction which propogates uptake of its own venom.
