Three species are found in coastal waters off the tropical West African mainland (Collette, 1965). A further two species are found in offshore waters (Collette and Parin in Quéro et al., 1990: 579–582). On average about 300 tonnes of halfbeaks are recorded as being 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).
