Study of PSP and TTX in lagocephalus species of Sarawak waters

Blowfish orglobefish are the othercomrron names for Puffer Fish that has been named after their habit of inflating themselves in water whenever felt threatened. In Malaysia, Lagocephalus lunaris, L. sceleratus and also L. spadiceus are the most comrnon species ofpuffer fish consumed. Pufferfish ma...
