๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท Greece pays fishermen 5.3 euro per kilogram of silver-cheeked toadfish they catch.

The species endemic to the Red Sea invaded the Mediterranean Sea in the past decade and started to cause real disturbance for tourists because of its proneness to bite, using powerful human-like teeth. The fish's bite is so strong that it can break an aluminum can.

Moreover, the species is highly toxic if eaten, potentially leading to paralysis and inability to breathe.
