Blunthead Triggerfish or Stone Triggerfish. To 1 m (39.4 in) TL ( Allen and Robertson 1994). Bahía Almejas (24°22.7’N, 111°42.6’W), southern Baja California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to Chile ( Pequeño 1989), including Gulf of California ( Robertson and Allen 2015), and Islas Galápagos ( Grove and Lavenberg 1997).
