Grey Triggerfish

In portuguese “Pig Fish” the name is related just to the sound that this fish produces, that is very similar to a swine. But instead of acorns this fish feed on sea urchins! The head and abdominal cavity of the Grey Triggerfish are quite big, making the edible part of the body (filets) just 20-25% of its weight. The great fisheries of this species occur during summer and autumn, in which the waters are warmer.
