Description
Spot-fin porcupinefish (Diodon hystrix) is a species found in tropical and subtropical waters all over the world. Its internal organs contain the poison tetrodotoxin, which are carefully cut away by sushi chefs for the famous dish "Fugu," although accidental poisonings can still occur. The spiky skins can be dried in their puffed-up form, and were used as war helmets by the peoples of the Gilbert Islands.
