Occlusable Yellow Corneas in Tetraodontidae

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1979
ABSTRACT In three species of brackish-water puffer fish (Tetraodontidae) the corneas are colourless in the dark but become yellow in the light, through the migration of pigment in chromatophore cells lining the corneal margirts. Spectrophotometry indicted the pigment to be a carotenoid.

How puffers (Teleostei: Tetraodontidae) swim

Journal of Fish Biology, 1996
Two species of marine Indo‐Pacific puffers, Arothron meleagris and A. nigropunctatus, were filmed with a high‐speed motion picture camera while swimming in a Brett‐type water tunnel at speeds of 1‐3.5 body lengths (BL) s−1. The puffers generated thrust by use of their pectoral fins in addition to their dorsal and anal fins; the long axis of the body ...
