| The page says | The source says |
| :--- | :--- |
| Least Concern | IUCN Red List Status (Ref. 130435 : Version 2025-2 (Global)) Least Concern (LC) ; Date assessed: 25 August 2024 (note: backs stats.conservationStatus (#367). GBIF has no category for IUCN taxon 266886596 and iucnredlist.org renders the assessment page empty in Chrome and puts its search behind a human check (2026-09-16), so the category is read from FishBase, which names Red List version 2025-2 and an assessment date of 25 August 2024, the date Crossref gives for the finucci-2025 DOI. The status is unchanged.) |
| dangerLevel: Low | Threat to humans Harmless (note: backs stats.dangerLevel (#413). FishBase's species page for Harriotta avia; no cached source calls its first dorsal spine venomous (Fishes of Australia describes it as a 'very strong slightly curved spine' with 'serrated hind edges', no venom), and the species lives at 260-2,600 m, out of reach of people.) |
