Two species occur on the mainland coast of tropical West Africa (Desoutter in Quéro et al., 1990: 834–836) and both were collected by Irvine. On average about 550 tonnes of spadefishes 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).
