Abstract

German	German Die Rotfeuerfische nehmen ihre bizarr geformten Brustflossen beim Beutefang zu Hilfe. Sie treiben damit kleinere Fische in die Enge und verschlingen sie mit Saugschnappen.
English	English The film shows the prey-snaring behaviour of the red fire fish, Pterois volitans, representative of the scorpion fish family. The strangely formed pectoral fins are used for snaring; the prey is snatched with a sucking-grabbing movement.
