Smiling Puffer fish in the Indian Ocean, in Andaman and Nicobar Islands

From the archive record

Indian divers find a spiky puffer fish from Indian Ocean in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Spiney Porcupine Puffer Fish is an odd looking fish that has the obvious ability to inflate with water when threatened. Porcupine Puffer Fish can also inflate with air if removed from the water and this can damage them internally. To prevent this from happening try to scoop or direct them into a bag when moving them. Try not to use a net to move them.
