InterNevod: Спинороговые (Balistidae)
Спинороговые имеют довольно высокое тело, покрытое слегка налегающими друг на друга крупными костными чешуями, которые иногда, особенно в задней части тела, несут бугорки или шипы. С помощью своих зубов спинороги, подобно представителям семейства иглобрюховых, могут, как кусачками, отламывать веточки кораллов, дробить раковины моллюсков, панцири морских ежей и крабов. Среди спинорогов имеются также и растительноядные формы. [rus] |

Balistidae, The Trigger Fish - Scuba Diving Diani Beach - Kenya
The scales are fused to form a hard case; mistakable characteristic is the first dorsal spine, which can be locked erect by a knob. The spine is often flicked up at the approach of other species, and this may serve as an admonitory gesture. The spine is also erected when the fish retreats into a small crevice, where it cannot be removed [eng] |
