Rare Puffer fish found in East London


The Coelancath is not the only rare fish found near East London, last month brothers Johan Deelefs, Gideon du Preez and his son Bradley du Preez discovered a rare pufferfish while fishing at the Buluga Bump. The three-toothed puffer fish (Triodon Macropterus) is only the third specimen caught in 30 years. The first was caught before 1986 in Southern Mozambique and the second was found off the Durban coast in 2009.
