| description | Pufferfish from family Tetraodontidae consists of
28 genera and 199 species worldwide, distributed
in tropical and subtropical areas of Atlantic,
Indian and Pacific Ocean (Nelson 1994). Some
pufferfish species has become targeted species for
aquaculture industry in various country including
Japan, China, South Korea and Mexico. Reproductive
biology of these valuable aquaculture species
including tawny puffer (Shi, Zhang, Liu & Zang
2011), obscure puffer (Won, Kim & Park 2009;
Kim, Dahms & Han 2013), tiger puffer (Wu, Tang,
Yuan, Shi, Shakeela & Zhang 2015) and bullseye
puffer (Sanchez, Alvarez-Lajonchere, Abdo De La
Parra & Garcia 2008; Abdo-de La Parra, Garc�ıa-
Ortega, Mart�ınez-Rodr�ıguez, Gonz�alez-Rodr�ıguez,
Velasco-Blanco, Hern�andez & Duncan 2010) has
been studied extensively for optimizing the production
in aquaculture.
In Sarawak coastal waters, there are 13 species
of six genera of marine pufferfish species that has
been reported (Vidthayanon 1998). Most of these
species are non-target species in capture fisheries
and has been considered as trash fish. However,
there is one native pufferfish species that is widely
consumed by the locals which is yellow puffer,
X. naritus. Despite its lethality (Mohd Nor Azman,
Samsur & Othman 2014), this species is considered
as highly sought after delicacy due to the tenderness
of their meat according to the locals. |
