Pufferfish (also known as pufferfish) is a protected marine creature that has long been threatened by overfishing and illegal fishing due to its edible flesh, medicinal value, and its use as an ornamental fish. Therefore, puffer fish are now listed as protected animals in many areas around the world.
For example, in China, the puffer fish has been listed as a national second-level protected animal since 2003. In Japan, pufferfish is also regarded as a national rare animal, and a series of measures have been taken to strengthen its protection, including banning illegal fishing, establishing protected areas, and limiting fishing quantities.
Pufferfish are consumers in the marine food chain, feeding mainly on shellfish, small fish and plankton. Pufferfish's flesh contains high concentrations of neurotoxins, which can cause poisoning or even death if people do not eat or handle them correctly. Therefore, it is crucial to correctly understand the conservation significance of puffer fish, promote scientific culture, respect the laws of nature, and fully implement conservation policies.
