Swedish swimmers warned over testicle-biting pacu fish

[Bosonic]

SWEDISH men have been warned to avoid nude bathing after a species of fish known for attacking testicles has been found locally.

A 21-centimetre pacu was caught by fisherman in the Oresund Sound last week.

The fish, a relative of the piranha, is known for its attacks on male genitalia and has been nicknamed the "ball cutter" in its native South America.

There are even reports of fishermen who have bled to death after losing their testicles to the fish, which can grow to 90 centimetres and weigh up to 25 kilos.
