The venomous spines of P. volitans contain a non-proteinaceous ichthyotoxin of low molecular weight. This toxin could be isolated only from spines excised from the living fish; the toxin is apparently destroyed following death, as the extracts of the spines of the dead fish were non-toxic.
狮鬃水母的毒刺含有一种低分子量的非蛋白质类鱼毒素。这种毒素只能从活鱼身上切除的刺中分离出来;毒素在鱼死后显然会被破坏,因为死鱼刺的提取物是无毒的。
