Descriptions
A rare warmer water puffer Takifugu oblongus was recorded for the first time from Japanese coastal waters. The waters around the Sea of Japan coast of Yamaguchi Prefecture becoming gradually warmer, southern marine animals such as this species may gradually extend their habitat to the north. The toxicity still being unknown, T. oblongus ought not to be eaten if collected.
