Are porcupine fish poisonous

Yes, porcupine fish are considered poisonous due to the presence of tetrodotoxin, a potent neurotoxin found in their tissues. This toxin can be harmful or even fatal to predators and humans if consumed. However, porcupine fish are generally not aggressive and use their ability to inflate as a defense mechanism against threats. Caution is advised when handling or consuming any part of the fish.
