More exotic species in the Rías Baixas

We continue with compilation of new records of fish exotic species in the coast of Galicia. This time we were surprised by the presence of the prickly puffer Ephippion guttifer (Bennett 1831) (Tetradontidae) in the Ría de Vigo. The present record establishes a new fish species in Galician waters and constitutes the northernmost confirmed record in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Full report was accepted in the Journal of Fish Biology (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jfb.13761).
