Tetraodontiform fishes of Colombia

Abstract (en):

La mayoría de las especies aquí listadas (56%) existen en Colombia en aguas caribeñas, sin incluir aquellas que aparecen en ambas costas (15%). El alto número de especiesque viven en las dos costas colombianas se explica por la frecuente aparición (16%) de distribuciones circuntropicales en el orden, a su vez sin duda relacionada a las largas etapas pelágicas que las larvas y juveniles de los Tetraodontiformes pueden experimentar. Como es natural, la mayoría de las especies registradas en Colombia (70%) son conocidas solamente de la región Atlántico-Pacífico oriental, en tanto que apenas un 11% tienen mayor afinidad con la región Indo-Pacífica occidental. Es de interés la presencia en la Amazonia colombiana de una especie confinada a agua dulce, pues sólo una docena de especies del orden es netamente dulceacuícola.
