ABSTRACT

Inside the marine poisonous organisms we can find the Fish Frog of the Batrachoidiform order, which is typical for possessing a voluminous body and a broad mouth, beside possessing dorsal and a pectoral thorn which are connected to poisonous glands, which makes them dangerous to leading manifestations that can last several days in case of suffering a sting.
