Molas and puffers and triggers, oh my! Tetraodontiformes are fish—specifically a group of 10 closely related families. They are very diverse, but nearly all families have non-traditional scales and “beaks” formed by fused jawbones. Come learn about the taxonomy and morphology of my favorite group of fish! This class will survey each of the 10 families of tetraodontiform fishes, comparing them to each other and other fish. Bonus topics for each family may include conservation, applications to other scientific fields, and cultural history.
