sealord > This greater weever fish, Trachinus draco, was captured by recreational angler Allan Down near The Humps (near Amfroque) to the north-east of Herm Islands in the Bailiwick of Guernsey on the 14th October 2007.  The fish weighed 389 grams on the morning of 15th October.  It had a total length of 416 mm, a fork length of 402 mm and a standard length of 355 mm.  The fish had a healed dorsal wound near the middle of the second dorsal fin.  This injury had probably been due to attempted bird predation.  Weever fishes are notorious for the sharp first dorsal fin spines and the sharp spine on the dorsal margin of the gill cover or operculum.  These spines are supplied with venom from glands in the fish, which can cause excruciating pain if they penetrate skin.
