A SMALL fish with a big reputation - for biting off the testicles of men in the waters of Papua New Guinea - is on the move. It has made its way to France and there are fears it could be headed for London next.

Last month we reported the exotic pacu, found in PNG and South American rivers, had been discovered in Sweden's Orsund Sound.

The discovery sparked a warning to Swedish men not to engage in nude bathing.

A Scandinavian fish expert, Henrik Carl, warned the fish could grow to 90 centimetres, weigh up to 25kg and slice through flesh with their human-like teeth.

"They bite because they're hungry, and testicles sit nicely in their mouth," he said.

Now the pacu has been found in the River Seine, according to a Paris police report.

Given the creature's amazing migratory ability, the Brits are scared it may not be long before they are swimming up the Thames, the Mirror reported.

Jeromy Wade covered these fish in an episode of his fishing program. A quote from Wiki: "These fish are related to the Piranha and are from South America, where they use their strange human-like teeth to eat nuts and fruits. Wade makes a terrible discovery about the seemingly-placid pacus living in the Sepik."

Fruit 'n Nuts, eh? Might be handy to take a choccy bar with you as a distraction....

Lets hope that our cricket team did not go for a swim among them. Although that could be a reason for their poor performance.
