Well in Polish Puffer fish is called Kolcobrzuch which means "spike belly"
Puffer fish are not famously traded in Poland, that is why puffers are mislabeled. I found this link for example where GSP is labeled as Tetraodon fluviatilis aka Ceylon.

I'm trying to help those owners at Polish Forums who run into a problems with their Puffs and I got to say there is NOT a lot of them out there.

The word "puffer" in Swedish isn't unique at all: Kulfisk, means ball (more like marble) fish... Dwarf puffer is "dvärgkulfisk" (the same) and porcupine puffer is "blåsfisk" (blowfish)

In Puerto Rico (spanish) we call puffers in general as "pez globo". That literally means globe (or balloon) fish. The porcupine puffer is called "pez guanábana" or simply "'guanábano". Guanábana (soursop in english) is a fruit that has spikes!!!

Hi from India, and a few names of our region which is the Eastern part comprising the states of West Bengal, Orissa and others.
In India there are 27 States and almost every place has it's distinct language and wherever the Puffers are found names are different but I'll start with ones I know :
West Bengal
Language : Bengali
In general for puffers : Tepa or Potka (meaning to swell up)
BW/Marine puffers : Kirkire this name probably coined from the sound puffs make when picked up, disturbed on blowing up.
Orissa
Language : Oriya
In general for puffers to my knowledge : Bangopotaka meaning a frog swelling up while calling or while being caught by a predator as is so in the case with puffs in nature.
More will follow when I come to know.

By the way I think "Baiacu Verde Pintado" is GSPand, puffer fish is baiacu en Espanol, isn't it?
In German it must be something like kugelfisch or kugel fisch.
The scientific way to write animal names is with katakana so it's usually written フグ (fugu), but the regular way is with hiragana ふぐ or kanji 河豚. 河 (kawa) is river and 豚 (buta) is pig. Sometimes Japanese people will write "fuku" instead of "fugu" because that makes it synonymous with 福 (fuku) which means good fortune. So puffers are sometimes associated with good luck and happiness.
Some Japanese puffer names are-
hachi no ji fugu (figure of eight puffer, F8)
midori fugu (green puffer, GSP)
harisenbon (thousands of needles, porcupine puffer)
tora fugu (tiger puffer, Takifugu rubripes)
hako fugu (box puffer, boxfish)
manbou (waving wheel fish, ocean sunfish)
If anyone wants anymore, I can look them up.
I was going to comment on that but thought better of it .. yes In Japanese puffer = pig / oecan pig ... river pig ... etc .. very funny actually

Which near as I can tell is only the unofficial (most likely a normwegian loan word) word. Many LFS at least in Stockholm have no idea what kulfisk is. It's not in any dictionary I can find anywho. Blåsfisk seems to be the official name.Fugushima wrote:In swedish we say kulfisk
