Firsts records and expansion of the geographic distribution of the oceanic puffer, Lagocephalus lagocephalus (Tetraodontiformes: Tetraodontidae), in the Gulf of Mexico

In the northwestern Atlantic the genus Lagocephalus is represented by 2 species: Lagocephalus lagocephalus, with an oceanic distribution, and Lagocephalus laevigatus, of coastal habits. In the present work the first records of the species in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean waters off Mexico are pre...

In the present work the first records of the species in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean waters off Mexico are presented, with 18 adult and juvenile specimens being captured. The adults reached sizes of 360–484 mm standard length (SL) and weighed between 845 and 1,900 g, and the sizes of the juveniles ranged between 24 and 30 mm SL, with weight ranging between 1 and 10 g. Specimens were caught using a mid-water net (NMWT 25/25), a surface longline, and a bottom longline in neritic and oceanic waters of the exclusive economic zone in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea off Mexico, at depths ranging from 30 to 312 m. The presence of L. lagocephalus may be associated with the climatic conditions of the nortes season, when strong winds blow towards the coastal region, and with the reproductive phase of the species. En el Atlántico noroccidental, el género Lagocephalus está representado por 2 especies: Lagocephalus lagocephalus, con distribución oceánica, y Lagocephalus laevigatus, de hábitos costeros. En el presente trabajo se documentan los primeros registros de L. lagocephalus en el golfo de México y aguas del Caribe frente a México, con la captura de 18 ejemplares adultos y juveniles. Los adultos alcanzaron tallas de 360-484 mm de longitud estándar (LE) y peso de 845-1,900 g, y las tallas de los juveniles fueron de entre 24 y 30 mm LE, con un peso de 1 a 10 g. Los ejemplares fueron capturados con red de media agua tipo NMWT 25/25, palangre de superficie y palangre de fondo en aguas neríticas y oceánicas de la zona económica exclusiva del golfo de México, a profundidades desde 30 m hasta 312 m. Su captura puede estar asociada con las condiciones climáticas de la época de nortes, que ocasionan vientos fuertes con dirección a la región costera, y con la fase reproductiva de la especie.
