- Abstract
This paper provides a brief description of the natural history known of the genus Sphoeroides as an introduction to the biology of Mexican puffer fish Sphoeroides annulatus Jenyns (1842). Studies to determine the culture potential of this species during 11 years are described. At the experimental level, useful advances have been made on S. annulatus and reproductive and rearing husbandry practices together with the nutritional requirement, physiological studies, diseases and control therapies are discussed. The results and findings obtained in the first year of operation of the as-yet incomplete pilot-scale facility to a level required for commercial production are also described.
