There are more than 120 species of puffer fish. I wonder which ones they are considering?
Anyone know which species our typical Tiki bar puffers belong to?

Spiky ones are Porcupine fish.
Puffer fish are farmed so the only endangered ones would be in the wild, interestingly the farmed ones have had the poison bred out of them for safer eating. In my experience there are enough to be a nuisance when fishing as they chew through your line all the time.
