Sphoeroides pachygaster Hardy & Randall 1983
, 2021 Sphoeroides pachygaster One of two rare species belonging to the family Tetraodontidae was S. pachygaster, found at two trawl stations. This species was caught only at bottom depths of 200 m in October (R2) and February (R1). The maximum biomass was estimated to be 30 kg /km 2 with the maximum abundance of 120 ind/km 2 in February (R1), which is higher

Characterizing trophic ecology of the checkered puffer (Sphoeroides testudineus) [PDF]
Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2017 ABSTRACT Sphoeroides testudineus (Linnaeus, 1758), is a common, widely distributed fish in coastal ecosystems. To better understand the trophic niche of S. testudineus, we collected individuals from tidal creeks on Abaco Island, The Bahamas, and employed stomach content and stable isotope analysis.

Adaptative responses of myenteric neurons of Sphoeroides testudineus to environmental pollution
NeuroToxicology, 2020 Contamination in estuarine regions affects the local biota damaging the ecosystems and reaching humans. The gastrointestinal tract is a dynamic environment capable of obtaining nutrients and energy from food while it protects the host against harmful toxins and pathogens from the external environment.
