Almost all puffer fish contain tetrodotoxin, a deadly toxin that is up to 1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide . The poison in one puffer fish is enough to wipe out 30 humans and there is no known antidote.

Tetraodontidae is a family of primarily marine and estuarine fish of the order Tetraodontiformes. The family includes many familiar species, which are variously called pufferfish, puffers, balloonfish, blowfish, bubblefish, globefish, swellfish, toadfish, toadies, honey toads, sugar toads, and sea squab. They are morphologically similar to the closely related porcupinefish, which have large external spines (unlike the thinner, hidden spines of Tetraodontidae, which are only visible when the fish has puffed up). The scientific name refers to the four large teeth, fused into an upper and lower plate, which are used for crushing the shells of crustaceans and molluscs, their natural prey.

Puffer fish have four teeth that are fused in the beak like structure. They use their teeth for opening of mussels, clams and shellfish. Puffer fish also eat algae and different types of worms and crustaceans.
Puffer fish have excellent eyesight.

The life of a puffer fish is around 10 years.

The puffer fish can be eaten and is eaten in China. The name of the fish they usually cook is Fugu.

Fugu can be lethally poisonous it must be carefully prepared to remove toxic parts and to avoid contaminating the meat. The restaurant preparation of fugu is strictly controlled by law in Japan and several other countries, and only chefs who have qualified after three or more years of rigorous training are allowed to prepare the fish.  Domestic preparation occasionally leads to accidental death.

They are by far the second most poisonous vertebrates in the world, comes after the golden poison frog.

The specific organs of pufferfish are rather more toxic than the rest of the parts which is why they’re not mostly eaten by animals.

There are around 120 species in the family with extensive diversity in the tropical and temperate regions but they’re widely absent from the cold waters.

Pufferfish are normally medium-sized species although a very few can grow to size equal to or greater than 100 cm.

Some species of pufferfish are considered vulnerable due to pollution, habitat loss, and overfishing, but most populations are considered stable.

The puffer fish is a family of fish,with about 100 speices;they are also known as the blowfish,fugu,shellfish and globefish.They are called the puffer fish because when they are threatned,they puffs up to about twice this engorged state,the puffer fish can swim at only about half their normal speed.

Most puffer fish are found in sub-tropical and tropical marine water (including coral reefs)in the Atlantic,Pacific,and Indian Oceans.Some puffers live in brackish and fresh water.The scientific name refers to the four large teeth,fused into an upper and lower plate,which are used for crushing the shells of crustaceans molluscs,their natural pray.

Biologists think pufferfish, also known as blowfish, developed their famous “inflatability” because their slow, somewhat clumsy swimming style makes them vulnerable to predators. In lieu of escape, pufferfish use their highly elastic stomachs and the ability to quickly ingest huge amounts of water (and even air when necessary) to turn themselves into a virtually inedible ball several times their normal size. Some species also have spines on their skin

# data[].attributes.body
Pufferfish can be lethal if not served properly. Puffer poisoning usually results from consumption of incorrectly prepared puffer soup, fugu chiri, or occasionally from raw puffer meat, shashimi fugu.This can cause the death, paralyze the diaphragm, decreased blood pressure, heart rate, muscle paralysis, numbness of the lips, light-headedness and intoxication.

Spawning occurs after males males slowly push females to the water surface or by joining females already present.

This circle found in the seabed was made by a puffer fish for protecting the eggs from the sea currents.

Pufferfish Blows Up to protect its self!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This pufferfish has some nice self defense :D It looks like a bloon. The Puffer Fish, or Blowfish blows itself up to defend itself against its enemies. When it is threatened, the Puffer Fish will turn itself into a large ball covered with sharp spines.
