Carnivorous fish attacks injure 10 people in Argentinian riverピラニアの群れまた人を襲う

Attacks by a school of carnivorous fish have injured at least 10 people bathing in an Argentinian river since Thursday.

The latest attack by the "palometas" was confirmed on Saturday.

The fish have been described by the local director of lifeguards as "a type of piranha, big,

voracious and with sharp teeth that can really bite".

Media reports said the injured included a boy who suffered a foot wound while floating in the river.

The attacks took place in the Paraná River in Rosario, 186 miles north-east of Buenos Aires.

Seventy people who were cooling off from high temperatures were injured there in late December by the same piranha-like fish.

They included seven children who lost parts of their fingers or toes.

Experts say unusually high temperatures during the austral summer and lower numbers of species such as caiman that preyed on the fish could be causing the attacks.





ピラニアの群れ、また人を襲う…１０人が負傷

　【リオデジャネイロ＝浜砂雅一】ＡＰ通信などによると、南米アルゼンチン中部ロサリオのパラナ川で１６～１８日、

川遊びを楽しんでいた市民がピラニアの群れに次々に足などをかまれ、少なくとも１０人が負傷した。

　ロサリオでは先月２５日にも同じような被害があり、約７０人が負傷した。

いずれも襲ったのは、ピラニアの一種で「パロメタ」と呼ばれる肉食魚。同国では異例の猛暑が続いており、水温の上昇が魚の行動を活発化させたとの見方が出ている。
