Today after finishing my work, I registered myself and did a kickstart. The kickstart is to make a wanted poster for the stonefish. Before showing my poster, here are three facts about stonefish; Fact 1- Stonefish is one of the most venomous fish in the world as its spines can cause intense pain and kill you.
Fact 2- Stonefish aren’t predators that can’t be eaten- sharks and rays can eat them. Fact 3 – Stonefish can be edible if properly prepared- it can be eaten as sashimi if you remove the spines that have venom.

Now to do the step it up challenge, I went on the Explore link to search for dangerous sea creatures in the world. I chose the red lionfish as they are usually in aquariums. Here are three facts about the red lionfish; Fact 1- Red lionfish are the most venomous type of lionfish as their venom is in their spines like the stonefish.
Fact 2- Red lionfish aren’t always aggresive but they can be aggresive and attack you if they feel threatened. Fact 3- You can eat any type of lionfish- the spines are only venomous so remove the spines of the lionfish and the rest is edible.
Again, to not run the risk of errors, here is the link for the picture.
One thought on “Kickstart+Step it up: ‘Wanted’ Feared Fish”
Kia Ora Jaeden,
It is great to see you joining in on the summer learning journey this year and what a fun activity to start with!
I think your poster looks amazing, it reminds me of the old western wanted posters. Your little image you have chosen looks amazing and you included some very cool and interesting facts. I had no idea they could still be eaten, I assumed their toxicity made them less of a prey.
Have you ever seen a stone fish before?
I see you have included your step it up task in this post too. You managed to write both activities on the two ocean animals I am most afraid of. Have you seen either of these fish in the wild?
Next time you post I would recommend asking a question to encourage your peers to comment in response, have a go at asking me a question in the replies!
