TETRAODONTIDAE

Six species are known from the Gulf of Guinea, although one is only likely to occur well offshore (Poll, 1959; Shipp in Quéro et al., 1990: 1069–1072); two of these were recorded by Irvine from Ghana (one under two different names). Sporadic catches of up to around 125 tonnes per year of pufferfishes have been reported from the region (FAO, 2000).
