Seven species occur in inshore waters off the mainland coast of tropical West Africa ( Nielsen , 1963; Munroe, 1990; Desoutter in Quéro et al., 1990: 1050–1054) and one was recorded (under two different names) from Ghana by Irvine. One or two other species occur in deepwaters (> 200 m depth) offshore. On average about 5000 tonnes of tonguesoles are caught in the region each year ( FAO, 2000) .
Four species are likely to be found in the Gulf of Guinea (Shipp, 1981) and two were recorded by Irvine from Ghana. On average about 75 tonnes of triggerfishes are reported to be caught in the region each year (FAO, 2000).
