Occlusable Yellow Corneas in Tetraodontidae
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1979ABSTRACT 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.

Mitochondrial genome ofMonotrete leiurus(Osteichthyes: Tetraodontidae)
Mitochondrial DNA, 2013Monotrete leiurus is the only freshwater puffer founded in Nala River, which is a tributary of the Langcang-Mekong River in China. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Monotrete leiurus is 16,448 bp long and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region (CR). The base composition of the genome is 29%

How small puffers (Teleostei: Tetraodontidae) swim
Ichthyological Research, 2003The tetraodontiform swimming mode has recently attracted attention because puffers swim very steadily and, unlike most of the other median and paired fin (MPF) swimmers, use more than one pair of fins to propel themselves through the water. To date, only one study presenting data concerning the swimming kinematics of puffers has been published, and ...

Reproductive Biology of Malabar Pufferfish Carinotetraodon travancoricus (Tetraodontidae)
Journal of Ichthyology, 2019Carinotetraodon travancoricus, is endemic to rivers of Western Ghats of India and supports a lucrative export trade of live aquarium fishes from India. Aspects of its reproduction are studied from fishes collected from the Pampa River, South India. Among 966 fishes analyzed females predominated in March and males in May.

First Neogene Proto-Caribbean pufferfish: new evidence for Tetraodontidae radiation
Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 2018Abstract This study reports a three-dimensional fossil skull of a Tetraodontidae that dates to the middle Miocene (Serravallian), which was recovered from a rock matrix from the Valiente Peninsula Formation in the Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Caribbean coast of Panama. The new species, †Lagocephalus striatus n.

The courtship and spawning behaviors ofCanthigaster valentini (Tetraodontidae)
Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1987The sharpnose puffer,Canthigaster valentini, occurs in male-dominated harems of territorial females at Lizard Island (Australia). Spawning occurs daily and year-round. Males only spawn with the females of their social group, inside the female's territory.

Ultrastructure and innervation of the swimbladder of Tetractenos glaber (Tetraodontidae)
Cell and Tissue Research, 1984The general structure, ultrastructure and innervation of the swimbladder of the smooth toadfish, Tetractenos glaber, were examined with light-microscopic, fluorescence-histochemical, and transmission electron-microscopic techniques. The structure of the swimbladder is similar to that of other euphysoclists. Fluorescence histochemistry showed adrenergic
