What are the Pufferfish conservation status?

Answer 1

Pufferfish, belonging to the family Tetraodontidae, face various conservation challenges depending on the species. Some species are threatened due to habitat loss, overfishing, and pollution, while others, like the popular but toxic Pufferfish (fugu), are subjected to strict regulations due to their culinary use. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists several pufferfish species as vulnerable or endangered. Conservation efforts are focused on habitat protection and sustainable fishing practices to ensure their survival.
