Tetraodon steindachneri

Recently, each toxin of Thai brackish water puffer T. nigroviridis and Tetraodon steindachneri has been characterized as same TTX. Toxin distribution pattern was similar to that of C. patoca. TTX as the toxic principle was also detected in the marine puffers from Taiwan and Bangladesh (Hwang et al, 1988 Mahmud et al, 1999a,b, 2001).
