A stranded puffer fish on the beach in Australia.

Tetraodontidae is a family of primarily marine and estuarine fish of the order Tetraodontiformes.

Dried Puffer Fish. Porcupine fish have the ability to inflate their body by swallowing water (or air) and become round like a ball. This increase in size (almost double vertically) reduces the range of potential predators to those with much bigger mouths. A second defense mechanism is provided by the sharp spines, which radiate outwards when the fish is inflated.

Washed up Porcupine fish, similar in looks to puffer fish or balloon fish on a tropical beach of Indian Ocean. This exotic creature is also known as balloon fish because for self defense, the evolution has developed the organs of fish in such a way, that sensing threat, the fish swells up from the middle like a balloon firing in outward direction its prickly long spines, deadly enough to scare its predators away. Such washing up of exotic fishes are very common these days, endangering the existence of many of such species worldwide, the reason behind this may be attributed to the uncontrollable and excessive fishing by the coastal fishermen. Besides, on the beaches neighboring very wide area adjoining harbour, ship oil spills are causing marine pollution polluting the water, thus lowering the oxygen levels. Climate change due to global warming is also threatening a wide array of marine species.

This pufferfish may be an example of the taxidermist's art, but in this case it is filled with air. Clearly seen are the four 'teeth' that give this order of fishes the name Tetradontidae. These teeth deal with the natural prey of pufferfish, which are molluscs and crustaceans. 'Four-tooth' fishes include examples with names such as pufferfish, puffers, balloonfish, blowfish, bubblefish, globefish, swellfish, toadfish, toadies, honey toads, sugar toads, and sea squab. They are closely related to the porcupinefish, which have large external spines. Pufferfish may be the second-most poisonous vertebrates in the world, after the golden poison frog. Organs such as the liver and skin can be highly toxic due to an accumulation of tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin. Some countries that enjoy cookery-on-the-edge will eat pufferfish, after it has been specially prepared, at which time the meat is considered a delicacy (even if still potentially lethal). Japan has its 'fugu', Korea its 'bok' and China its 'hetun'. This particular pufferfish came from the seas around Menorca. Similar fishes: .

$Porcupinefish Diodon hystrix is commonly seen in caves and holes in shallow reefs, like this specimen.\nThis species occurs circumtropical in lagoon and seaward reefs to at least 50m. Juveniles to about 20 cm are pelagic, and adults are benthic. This species lives solitary and nocturnal, feeding on hard shelled invertebrates like sea urchins, gastropods, and hermit crabs.\nDramai Rock, Westpapua, Indonesia \n4°2'33.036 S 134°14'12.858 E at 5m depth$
