The long-spine porcupinefish is a pufferfish found in the majority of tropical and subtropical marine areas around the globe. Juveniles can be found in small groups.

This species has been protected on the French Mediterranean coast since 1993. The combined effects of regulations, climate change, and marine protected areas contribute to the successful restoration of grouper populations, which are increasing once again.

The pike’s jaws contain around 700 teeth. Females are larger than males which do not exceed 1 m long. Breeding occurs from February to April. Eggs are laid on vegetation in flooded areas. Fishermen enjoy it for its meat and for its fighting spirit.
