About 18 species occur off the mainland coast of tropical West Africa (Smith in Quéro et al. 1990: 695–706; Maugé in Quéro et al., 1990: 707–710; Heemstra, 1991; Heemstra and Randall, 1993) and 10 were recorded by Irvine. On average about 16 500 tonnes of serranids 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).
