The Indo-Pacific lionfishes Pterois miles and P. volitans (in the scorpionfish family, Scorpaenidae) were at one time not distinguished from each other, but today they are widely recognized as distinct species based on morphometric and mitochondrial DNA analyses (Hamner et al. 2007; Betancur-R. et al. 2011; Eschmeyer 2012). Both of these predatory, venomous species have achieved notoriety during the past decade as they have invaded the western Atlantic with extraordinary speed, raising major concerns about their impacts on native hard-bottom, mangrove, seagrass, and coral reef communities. These lionfishes have now been far more thoroughly studied in the western Atlantic than in their native range. In a study in the Bahamas (Green et al. 2012), lionfish abundance was found to have increased rapidly between 2004 and 2010, by which time lionfish accounted for nearly 40% of the total predator biomass in the system. This increase in lionfish abundance coincided with a rapid (over just two years) 65% decline in the biomass of the 42 Atlantic fishes recorded as lionfish prey.
The lionfish invasion has spread all along the coastal Yucatan Peninsula, including the entire Mesoamerican coral reef, and throughout the Caribbean as far as Venezuela (Valdez-Moreno et al. 2012). Lionfish were first recorded in the western Atlantic in 2000. They have been established from Miami to North Carolina (U.S.A.) since 2002, around the Greater Antilles since 2007, and around the Florida Keys and Gulf of Mexico since 2009. Lionfish were numerous around Bermuda by 2004 and established in the Bahamas by 2005. Since 2009, lionfish have extended their range to include the Caribbean coasts of Mexico and Central and South America to Venezuela. It is unclear whether they will be able to spread south of Brazil or Uruguay. Juveniles can be found as far north as Rhode Island (U.S.A.), but under current climate conditions they apparently cannot withstand winter temperatures north of North Carolina. Lionfishes are the first nonnative marine fishes to establish in the western North Atlantic and Caribbean, althoughat one time or another dozens of of non-native marine fishes (most from the Indo-Pacific) have been documented in the coastal waters off Florida. (Schofield 2010) The native range for P. volitans is the Indo-West Pacific: Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the Indian Ocean and in the western Pacific from French Polynesia and the Line Islands to Australia and Japan. The native range for P. miles is in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean: East and South Africa, Madagascar, and the Mascarenes east to Indonesia; P. miles has reached the Mediterranean Sea from the Red Sea through the Suez Canal. (Eschmeyer 2012)
The establishment of lionfish in the western Atlantic is believed to be the result of accidental or intentional releases from aquaria. Genetic analyses have revealed a striking reduction in genetic diversity in introduced populations relative to their native ranges (Hamner et al. 2007; Betancur-R. et al. 2011), but this has not caused any obvious problems for these new populations, which reach densities far higher than do populations in their native range (Kulbicki et al. 2012). Mitochondrial DNA screening of western Atlantic lionfish has shown that while P. miles is restricted to the northernmost locations (Bermuda and the east coast of the United States), P. volitans is ubiquitous and much more abundant (Betancur-R. et al. 2011).Discouragingly, modeling by Barbour et al. (2011) suggests that effective lionfish removal programs would be very difficult to implement and maintain.
The venom-packing spines of lionfish pose a danger to anyone handling them.
Albins and Lyons (2012) reported a previously undescribed technique used by P. volitans to capture fish prey. While slowly approaching prey, lionfish produce jets of water directed toward their prey. These jets may confuse or distract prey and often result in prey fish facing the attacking lionfish, increasing the probability of head-first capture and swallowing.
Morris et al. (2009) provided an overview of the biology and ecology of P. volitans and P. miles.

Perutýn žoldnéř (Pterois miles), někdy také perutýn ďábelský, je druh perutýna. Je velmi podobný perutýnovi ohnivému (P. volitans), ale vyznačuje se určitými rozdíly v tělní stavbě a hlavně v geografickém rozšíření.
Perutýn ohnivý a žoldnéř jsou blízce příbuzné druhy, které se pravděpodobně oddělily před 2,4-8,3 miliony lety na základě procesu speciace, a to buď alopatrické (tzn. druhy byly zcela odděleny neznámou bariérou) nebo parapatrické (došlo k částečnému oddělení). Je však také možné, že P. volitans a P. miles nejsou dva druhy, ale pouze jeden, v rámci něhož však došlo k vytvoření dvou populací s mírně odlišnými geny (konkrétně proces třídění linií).[1]
Vykazuje mnoho shodných znaků s perutýnem ohnivým. Má však například poněkud menší tečky na nepárových ploutvích. Dále se vyznačuje jinými počty měkkých paprsků: na hřbetní ploutvi jich má 10 (perutýn ohnivý 11), na řitní ploutvi 6 (perutýn ohnivý 7).[2]
Perutýn žoldnéř obývá Indický oceán. Jeho rozšíření sahá od Rudého moře po Sumatru, v severojižním směru od Perského zálivu až do jižní Afriky.[2] V rámci lessepsovské migrace se začíná objevovat i ve východní části Středozemního moře.

Der Rotfeuerfisch (Pterois miles) ist im Roten Meer und im Indischen Ozean verbreitet. Als invasive Spezies kommt er auch an der nordamerikanischen Ostküste und in der Karibik vor. Er ist inzwischen auch durch den Suezkanal in das südöstliche Mittelmeer eingewandert (Lessepssche Migration).[1][2] Die Art hat innerhalb eines Jahres fast die gesamte Südostküste von Zypern besiedelt (Stand 2016).
Er dringt bis in eine Wassertiefe von 50 Meter vor. Nachts und in der Dämmerung jagt er nach Fischen und Krebsen. Tagsüber zieht sich der Rotfeuerfisch in Höhlen und unter große Korallenstöcke zurück.
Der Rotfeuerfisch hat einen seitlich abgeflachten Körper mit extrem langen Flossenstrahlen an der vorderen Rückenflosse und den Brustflossen. Die Färbung des Körpers ist Rotbraun mit weißen Querlinien.
Seine stacheligen Strahlen der Rückenflosse enthalten ein starkes Gift, welches zu schmerzhaften Verletzungen führt. Sein Verhalten ist jedoch nicht aggressiv.
Die nachtaktiven Tiere können von Schnorchlern und Tauchern am besten nachts und kurz vor dem Sonnenuntergang beobachtet werden.
Die Abgrenzung gegenüber dem Pazifischen Rotfeuerfisch (Pterois volitans) wurde klassisch über die für die indische Variante als charakteristisch geltenden Augenflecken vorgenommen. Da dieses Farbmuster jedoch bei juvenilen Tieren beider Ozeane auftritt und im Alter mehr und mehr verblasst, wurde die Existenz zweier Arten von manchen Autoren bezweifelt. Kürzlich erfolgte molekulare Analysen zeigten allerdings, dass es sich bei beiden Feuerfischen zumindest um genetisch unterscheidbare Populationen handelt, die sich vor 2,4 bis 8,3 Millionen Jahren getrennt haben.[3]

Pterois miles, the devil firefish or common lionfish, is a species of ray-finned fish native to the western Indo-Pacific region. It is frequently confused with its close relative, the red lionfish (Pterois volitans). The scientific name is from Greek pteron, meaning "wing", and Latin miles, meaning "soldier".
Pterois miles was first formally described as Scorpaena miles in 1828 by the British naturalist John Whitchurch Bennett, with the type locality given as the south coast of Sri Lanka.[3] A molecular study of this species, the red lionfish, the luna lionfish and Russell's lionfish found that the common lionfishes in the western Indian Ocean formed a lineage, that a second lineage consisted of both the luna lionfish and Russell's lionfish, suggesting these two taxa are conspecific, while the ref firefish formed a third lineage which appeared to have genetic contributions from the other two lineages. This suggests that the red lionfish arose from hybrids between P. miles and P. russelii sensu lato.[4]
The specific name miles is Latin for "soldier"; Bennett did not explain this, but it may be that the red colour reminded him of the red tunics worn by British soldiers in the 19th century.[5]
The common lionfish grows up to 35 cm (14 in) in length. The dorsal fin has 13 long, strong spines and 9-11 soft rays, and the anal fin has three long spines and six or seven soft rays. The dorsal fin appears feathery and the pectoral fins are wing-like with separate broad, smooth rays. These fish vary in colour from reddish to tan or grey and have numerous thin, dark, vertical bars on their heads and bodies.[2] Its head is less angular than that of P. volitans.
The common lionfish is mainly nocturnal and hides in crevices during the daytime. It feeds on fish and small crustaceans. It has few predators, probably because of its venomous spines, but larger lionfish do prey on smaller ones. Moray eels have shown resistance to the spines and it was reported that lion fish are included in their diet. The bluespotted cornetfish (Fistularia commersonii) has been shown to feed on it, as also do groupers in the Bahamas.[6]
P. miles is native to the Indian Ocean, from the Red Sea,[7] to South Africa, and to Indonesia. Recorded first in 1991 in the Mediterranean Sea off Israel, following entry via the Suez Canal, it is now common in the eastern Basin, with recent observations in the Sicily channel.[8][9] It is also now present off the east coast of the United States and in the Caribbean Sea where is regarded as an invasive species.[6]
It is very similar in appearance to P. volitans, which does not occur in the Red Sea. P. miles is usually found in areas with crevices or lagoons, often on the outer slopes of coral reefs.[10] Moray eels have recently been identified as natural predators of P. miles in its native habitat in the Red Sea.[11] Some grouper species and reef sharks are also its predators.
The fin spines are highly venomous and have caused death to humans in some reported cases. Despite this, a sting from this species is rarely fatal to humans. Nevertheless, a sting can cause extreme pain, vomiting, convulsion, minor paralysis, and breathing difficulties. Therefore, immediate emergency medical attention is strongly recommended, even for healthy adults who have been stung, as some people are more sensitive to the venom than others after being stung, and symptoms and reactions from the venom vary in severity from person to person.[2]

El pez león soldado, pez fuego diablo o pez escorpión (Pterois miles) es una especie de pez con aletas radiadas de la familia Scorpaenidae. Es nativo de la región occidental del Indo-Pacífico y se confunde con frecuencia con su pariente cercano, el pez león rojo (Pterois volitans).
Alcanza hasta 35 cm de longitud. La aleta dorsal tiene trece espinas largas y fuertes y nueve a once radios blandos y la aleta anal tiene tres espinas largas y seis a siete radios blandos. La aleta dorsal semeja un penacho de plumas y las aletas pectorales alas con rayas anchas y lisas separadas. Presenta espinas en las aletas son altamente venenosos y han causado la muerte a los seres humanos. El cuerpo de fondo claro o blancuzco tiene numerosas barras verticales que varían de color desde el rojizo al castaño o marrón claro o gris entre líneas oscuras finas.[1] Su cabeza es menos angular que la de P. volitans.
Es principalmente nocturno y puede esconderse en las grietas durante el día. Se alimenta de peces y pequeños crustáceos. Tiene pocos depredadores, probablemente debido a sus espinas venenosas, pero los más grandes se aprovechan de los más pequeños. Se ha demostrado que es depredado por Fistularia commersonii y por los meros.[2]
Es nativo del océano Índico, desde el mar Rojo hasta Sudáfrica e Indonesia; también se le conoce en el Mediterráneo oriental. Se encuentra generalmente en zonas con grietas o lagunas, a menudo en las pistas exteriores de los arrecifes de coral.[3] También está presente en la costa este de los Estados Unidos y en el Mar Caribe hasta Venezuela, donde se considera una especie invasora.[2]

Pterois miles est une espèce de poissons marins de la famille des Scorpaenidae (les « rascasses »). Cette espèce est communément appelée rascasse volante [de l'océan Indien], à l'instar de la proche Pterois volitans, qui peuple pour sa part l'océan Pacifique.
C'est une assez grosse rascasse, dont les mâles peuvent approcher les 40 cm de long, et rendue plus impressionnante encore par ses nombreux appendices pointus, dont la plupart sont venimeux. Sa coloration, alternant irrégulièrement des bandes blanches et colorées est variable en fonction de son habitat, et va de l'orange pâle au noir[2].
Les juvéniles sont sombres avec des pectorales très développées.
C'est un poisson qui vit à faible profondeur dans les écosystèmes coralliens[2].
Elle peuple la Mer Rouge et l'Océan Indien jusqu'aux Maldives, et est remplacée à partir de l'Indonésie par la très proche Pterois volitans. Toutes deux ont également été introduites par erreur aux Caraïbes, où elles sont invasives[2].

Il pesce scorpione (Pterois miles Bennet, 1828) è un pesce appartenente alla famiglia degli Scorpaenidae.
Spesso confuso con lo Pterois volitans (anch'esso noto comunemente con l'appellativo di pesce scorpione), è fisicamente molto simile: il corpo è tozzo, con testa prominente e occhi sporgenti, sopra a ognuno dei quali è presente un'escrescenza simile a un piccolo corno. Le pinne presentano raggi molto lunghi, uniti tra loro da lembi di pelle. La livrea è bianca striata di rosso mattone-bruno, sul corpo e sulle pinne.
Questo pesce è diffuso nell'Oceano Indiano, dal Sudafrica all'Indonesia, e nel Mar Rosso.
A partire dal 1992 si è diffuso nel mar Mediterraneo orientale in seguito a migrazione lessepsiana[1].
Abita le coste coralline e i fondali fangosi.
Le ghiandole velenifere sul dorso sono collegate ai raggi cavi (aculei) della pinna dorsale. Tra i Pesci scorpioni è il più pericoloso, il veleno è mortale.
Nonostante la pericolosità, il pesce scorpione è oggetto di pesca a scopo commerciale, poiché è di particolare interesse acquariofilo, per lo splendido aspetto e per le spiccate caratteristiche predatorie e comportamentali.

Bronnen, noten en/of referentiesO peixe-leão-comum (Pterois miles), também conhecido como peixe-leão-indiano, é uma espécie de peixe venenoso do gênero Pterois, da família Scorpaenidae.[1] Frequentemente é confundido com o peixe-leão-vermelho (Pterois volitans). É nativo do Oceano Índico e sendo uma espécie invasora no Oceano Atlântico, predando espécies nativas e endêmicas.[2][3]
O nome científico vem do grego pteron, que significa "asa", e do latim miles, que significa "soldado". Foi descrito em 1828, pelo naturalista britânico John Whitchurch Bennett.[4]
Possuem 13 espinhos longos na barbatana dorsal, 9 a 11 espinhos moles e 3 espinhos longos na barbatana anal. As barbatanas peitorais são semelhantes à asas, com espinhos largos e lisos separados. Esses peixes variam da cor, do avermelhado ao castanho, podendo chegar no tom acinzentado, e possuem varias listras finas na vertical.[5]
É um peixe noturno, que se esconde em fendas de rochas ou corais durante o dia. Seu habitat natural são recifes de corais e lagunas. Se alimentam de pequenos peixes e crustáceos. Possuem poucos predadores, por ser um peixe venenoso.[5]
É um peixe semi-agressivo, de fácil manutenção, mas não é recomendado para iniciantes. Por ser um peixe predador, não pode ser mantido com peixes pequenos, como donzelas e peixes-palhaço, pois podem ser predados. Más podem ser mantidos com peixes grandes, como moreias, baiacus, garoupas e peixes-gatilho.[6][7]
São nativos do Oceano Índico, do Golfo Pérsico ao Mar Vermelho, até o sul de Port Alfred, África do Sul e leste da Sumatra, Indonésia.[5]
Foram introduzidos no Oceano Atlântico, junto com o peixe-leão-vermelho, na costa da Flórida, EUA e no Mar do Caribe.[3][2] Também foram avistados exemplares solitários na costa do Malta,[8] Chipre[9] e no Mar Mediterrâneo.[9]
São frequentemente capturados para o comercio de aquários. Vários países caribenhos estão introduzindo o peixe-leão em sua culinária, para ajudar na preservação de espécies nativas. A pesca de peixe-leão é legalizada em quase todos os países caribenhos.[10]

Индийская крылатка[1] (лат. Pterois miles) — тропическая рыба отряда скорпенообразных, обитающая преимущественно в Индийском океане.
Крылатка достигает в длину 35 сантиметров. Большая голова составляет от трети до половины общей длины тела[2]. Окраска варьируется от красноватой до бурой и серой, на туловище и голове многочисленные тонкие поперечные тёмные полосы. Внешне похожа на другой вид, красную крылатку (лат. Pterois volitans). Хотя красная крылатка — преимущественно тихоокеанский вид, ареалы двух видов пересекаются в районе Суматры[2].
Спинной плавник насчитывает 13 игл и от 9 до 11 мягких лучей. В анальном плавнике 3 иглы и 6—7 мягких лучей. У взрослых особей также наблюдаются мелкие шипы вокруг жаберной крышки и пучки шипов на спинном, анальном и хвостовом плавниках. Шипы чрезвычайно ядовиты, укол шипом крылатки может привести к смерти.
Тропическая рыба, обитает преимущественно у рифов, на глубинах до 60 метров. Распространена в Индийском океане от Красного моря на юг до Порт-Альфреда (Восточно-Капская провинция, ЮАР) и на восток до Суматры. Встречается также в Восточном Средиземноморье.
Ночной хищник, питается ракообразными и мелкими рыбами[3]. Размножается редко, удвоение популяции занимает больше 14 лет.
Несмотря на ядовитость, крылатка обыкновенная является популярной аквариумной рыбой. Промыслового значения не имеет.
