Describe A Boxfish
Boxfish, also called truck fish is a shallow-water marine fish . Boxfish comes in different colors, but the one we are concern is the yellow one. They have deadly neurotoxin in their skin, they can release when threatened by a predator.
Boxfish is from the family of Ostracidae.
Boxfish die from it own poison. They are poor swimmers because of their tough inflexible exterior in their body, hence their movement is as hovering.
Where Do They Live?
Boxfish lives in reefs of Pacific ocean, underwater rocks crevices, Southeastern Alatantic ocean and India ocean.
Is It Easily Seen?
Boxfish is not easily seen that why we not see it in the market as other fishes. Though is also a marine fish but it scares to see it, but you can see it in the television, aquarium and internet.
