First Toxicological Analysis of the Pufferfish Sphoeroides pachygaster Collected in Italian Waters (Strait of Sicily): Role of Citizens Science in Monitoring Toxic Marine Species [PDF]
Pufferfish (Tetraodontidae) inhabiting the Mediterranean Sea may represent an emerging public health risk due to the possible accumulation of marine neurotoxins such as tetrodotoxin (TTXs) and saxitoxin (STXs) in their tissues.

Difference in Uptake of Tetrodotoxin and Saxitoxins into Liver Tissue Slices among Pufferfish, Boxfish and Porcupinefish [PDF]
Although pufferfish of the family Tetraodontidae contain high levels of tetrodotoxin (TTX) mainly in the liver, some species of pufferfish, boxfish of the family Ostraciidae, and porcupinefish of the family Diodontidae do not.

Automated Patch Clamp for the Detection of Tetrodotoxin in Pufferfish Samples [PDF]
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a marine toxin responsible for many intoxications around the world. Its presence in some pufferfish species and, as recently reported, in shellfish, poses a serious health concern. Although TTX is not routinely monitored, there is a

Spatio-temporal dynamics of exotic fish species in the Mediterranean Sea: Over a century of invasion reconstructed. [PDF]
Between 1896 and 2020, a total of 188 fish species entered the Mediterranean Sea, mainly from the Suez Canal, but also from other human‐mediated vectors and from the Straits of Gibraltar. Cumulative occurrences, reported in 264 distribution maps, documented this phenomenon, which increased steeply after 1990, without a sign of saturation.

Sphoeroides pachygaster Hardy & Randall 1983
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
