Lesser Weever Fish - Echiichthys vipera147 viewsLesser Weever Fish are common in all UK waters, they have spines laced with venom and hide in the sand in shallow water. The spines and venom of a Weever fish are purely defensive and not used for catching prey, but if an unsuspecting bather treads on one the spines deliver a venom that can cause excruciating pain.
