Two Papua New Guinea fishermen have bled to death after having their penises bitten off by piranha-like river fish.
The fish, which zero in on urine streams in the water, have struck terror among villagers along the Sepik River, in north-western PNG.
Authorities believe the killer fish is an introduced member of the South American pacu family and a relative of the piranha.
In both of last month's fatalities, the fish demonstrated a trait of the piranha by following a trail of urine in the water, swimming to its source and then biting it off with razor-sharp teeth.
Some believe the killer may be a food-source fish introduced from Brazil in 1994 by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation and the PNG National Fisheries Authority.
However, marine biologist and aquaculturist Ian Middleton said he believed they were a different species, introduced from across the PNG-Indonesia border.
He believed the fish had started biting humans because of a lack of naturally occurring food. "The reason for biting people on their genitals is a result of the fish detecting a chemical change in the water, swimming up the urine trail and biting the genitals."
This behavior was well documented in the Amazon, he said.
The director of the PNG Office of Environment and Conservation, Dr Wari Iamo, yesterday expressed " grave concern and dissatisfaction " at the way some government agencies and donor organisations had gone about importing exotic plant and animal species.
