The scientific name is used; in place of a common name, to convey the exact spices that is referring to. Without scientific names and only referring to common names animals can be confused among a group of people. ie. Indian Dwarf Puffer, Pee puffer, Malabar pufferfish, Pea pufferfish, pygmy pufferfish, BB puffer are all Carinotetraodon travancoricus.
