First attempts at culturing Sphoeroides annulatus (bullseye puffer fish) resulted in recurrent parasitic infestations caused by the monogenea Heterobothrium ecuadori and the dinoflagellate Amyloodinium ocellatum, both of which are associated to mortality events in other cultured species.

Kudoa dianae sp. n. (Myxosporea: Multivalvulida), a new parasite of bullseye puffer, Sphoeroides annulatus (Tetraodontiformes: Tetraodontidae) [PDF]
A new multivalvulid myxosporean species, Kudoa dianae sp. n., is described from bullseye puffer, Sphoeroides annulatus (Jenyns) (Tetraodontiformes: Tetraodontidae). Plasmodia develop in extramuscular sites, in the wall of oesophagus and less frequently on mesenteries.

Reproductive aspects of Sphoeroides annulatus (Jenyns, 1842) (Tetraodontiformes, Tetraodontidae) inhabiting the Mazatlan coast, Sinaloa, Mexico [PDF]
La muestra de Sphoeroides annulatus capturada en la costa de Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico fue predominantemente de adultos, como resultado de una aparente distribucion diferencial por talla/edad de la especie. La proporcion sexual fue 1:1. Las hembras presentaron un crecimiento alometrico y los machos, isometrico. De acuerdo con el analisis morfocromatico

Identification of platyhelminth parasites of the wild bullseye pufferfish (Sphoeroides annulatus Jenyns, 1853) using invariant digital color correlation [PDF]
La identificacion especifica de parasitos utilizando tecnicas morfologicas son lentas y consumidoras de tiempo, requiriendo preparaciones de alta calidad donde cada estructura taxonomicamente importante pueda ser observada con claridad, y ademas debe llevarse a cabo una consulta con un experto en taxonomia.; La informacion de color llega a ser un ...

DNA barcoding of marine rocky reef fishes from northern Peru suggests a parapatric speciation in the Tropical Eastern Pacific. [PDF]
Using a DNA barcoding technique we found evidence that reinforce the hypotheses of how parapatric speciation could drive the origin of new species in the TEP. Abstract Northern Peru marks the end of an extensive coastal marine region: The Panama province, which is characterized by predominantly tropical and equatorial features and is home to the only ...

A 12‐year retrospective review of tetrodotoxin poisoning in Hong Kong
Introduction: Tetrodotoxin poisoning is typically caused by puffer fish consumption. This study is to review its demographics, clinical presentations and management in Hong Kong. Method: Reported cases of tetrodotoxin poisoning to Hong Kong Poison Information Centre from October 2008 to March 2021 were included in the study. Information from electronic
