Molecular identification, early development and distribution of larval blunthead puffer Sphoeroides pachygaster (Teleostei: Tetraodontidae) off southeastern Brazil

Abstract We studied the early larval stages (preflexion and flexion) of the pufferfish Sphoeroides pachygaster based on ichthyoplankton samples collected off the southeastern coast of Brazil.
