Porcupine fish, or diodon, is actually also a pufferfish (family of tetraodontidae) just like arothron, ostracion and canthigaster... It"s a saltwater pufferfish.
@seapornography And I actually made a mistake, Diodon (porcupine fish) is a part of Diodontidea family and not tetraodontidae, but it is a puffer fish as well
@ mr.Winniethepoop. My PADI course taught me how to dive safely and some very basics on ocean life. In no way did it teach on how many times the puffer can puff in it's life time. Bottom line is, it's a god given defense mechanism the fish uses to avoid being eaten and to appear bigger to potential threats it dose not come with a limit on use. The only danger that comes to the fish is it's lack of maneuverability as seen in the video.
I'm interested in these amazing creatures, and I didn't realise they are not the same animal. I am a little concirned about handling them though. They puffed, which is a sign that they were stressed, which was probably caused but handeling them. Also, they can be dangerous if agetated.
stupoid fool puffers can only puff up 7-9 times in their life u fool have just made their life shorter. Im a advanced PADI diver so i know what im talking about.
@MrWinnethepooh72 Funny I've never heard that and in trying to look up to see if it is true or not I found no source to prove it, so i think your full of it. No offense
You're an idiot. I'm a dive master (its a qualification, not what I call myself), but from that I know that most pufferfish can only puff around 7-8 times before their heart gives up and they die. This is because it puts massive pressure on their heart every time they 'puff up', which they therefore only do in extremely threating situations. Well done.
No, it's not precisely "last ditch" if they do it when they're startled, mildly annoyed, defending territory, or any situation where they don't appear about to get immediately eaten. I have friends who keep puffers who've said they've seen their fish doing it for fun. That kind of observed behavior combined with the fact there's no scholarly research supporting the idea it's the "equivalent of a heart attack" for a puffer makes me very dubious.
You know, I'm only seeing two sources for that on googling, neither of them scholastic articles.
Calling urban legend on this. Doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense for a defense mechanism to have that kind of stress load on the body. I'll accept "it's stressful" but not "it's so stressful it's like going into cardiac arrest".
@hockeydude0988 If you eat the wrong parts, you could get badly poisoned. They can't directly harm people though unless you manage to get stuck with one of their spines.
@seapornography what does this mean: "not true confuse pipol comment your.." -- those were your words. if ur japanese where did you come up with "comprende ese?" -- what there's a lot of Mexican Mafia in Japan? Shuttup stupid. We know you're pretending to be a jap and making fun of them in the process. You're a stupid Nazi.
Since you have to eat one to be killed by it's poison I'd be more worried about one clamping down on my finger (they have really strong beak thingies).
I hope Japan gets totally drowned by a giant tsunami or something.
They have so little respect for nature - especially the sea! They kill whales, fin sharks for a damn snack, and here they are torturing a puffer for their own amusement. Not cool.
Actually I think Western countries are much worse at respecting nature. The Japanese have more respect for nature than Western countries ever did. Western countries still don't understand the point of respecting nature and it certainly shows.
Also, hope you don't ever plan on buying a cellphone, Tv, or any electronics device. Oh wait..you're computer is probably Japanese made or designed. Good luck with that boycott.

It's a natural defense response to the presense of a possible predator, it's not like it's harming them to do it.
