Fun Facts
- The only known natural predator of Atlantic Stargazers is the bottlenose dolphin.
- While the venomous spines of most venomous fishes are found in the dorsal fins, the venomous spines of Stargazers are cleithral spines (located behind their opercles and above their pectoralfins).
- Stargazers can produce an electric charge as a defense mechanism.
- Unlike most species of fish that bring water in through their mouths to breathe, the stargazer breathes through its nostrils.
