Pufferfishes. Perhaps they're best known for their ability to inflate in the face of danger, but this fish family is one of 10 that comprise a diverse order fishes known as Tetraodontiformes. And this graphic shows just a handful of the 447 species that are part of that order.

Tetraodontiformes include many fascinating traits and adaptations. They range in size from less than an inch long to some of the largest fishes in the ocean, like the 10-foot-long Mola mola.

They can be drab or colorful and some species rapidly change color. Many also have interesting scales, spines, or other adaptations to foil predators including:

- inflating their stomach with water to increase body size
- being covered with stiff, inflexible armored plates
- powerful toxins

If you know teachers or students who love all marine things, be sure to tell them about the Smithsonian's Ocean Portal website, where this graphic resides. It's a great resource for anyone looking for vetted information about the ocean.

Correction 1/25/23: This post was updated with a correction. The original post indicated that all the fishes shown in this graphic were part of the pufferfish family. Thank you to the taxonomy experts who follow us on FB, who pointed out the error. 🐡🐡🐡

Hace algunos años todos los torneos de aguja azul en PR eran bajo la modalidad de “catch & release”. Todas las marinas de la isla se unieron en un esfuerzo sin precedente en pro de la conservación de esta majestuosa especie, que es el símbolo de la pesca deportiva “offshore”.

Ahora vanos en “reversa”, vemos que se están abordando especies en y fuera de torneos y algunos clubes comparten las imágenes en sus redes lo que indirectamente promueve la captura de esta especie que es tan valiosa para la pesca deportiva.

Queremos volver a esos tiempos en que se promovía la captura y liberación del majestuoso BLUE MARLIN. A nuestros amigos de los diferentes clubes de pesca y marinas deportivas, a los directores de torneos de pesca, vamos a regresar a los torneos all release.

Recordamos que la venta de carne de Blue Marlin esta prohibida por leyes federales.
