Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 January 2011
Abstract
The present paper reports the first record of occurrence of puffer fish Torquigener brevipinnis (Regan, 1903) from the Indian coast. This extends its geographical distribution range north-west from the Indonesian coast of the eastern Indian Ocean. A systematic account of this species and a description and notes on its distribution are provided. Its relation with a similar species, T. hypselogeneion (Bleeker, 1852), described by Day, is also discussed and compared.
