Chelonodon bengalensis

Chelonodontops bengalensis, also known as Bengal reticulated puffer, is a species of pufferfish in the family Tetraodontidae.[2][3] It was first discovered at Alor Kol in Dublar Char of Bangladesh.[4] It is found in the northern Bay of Bengal in Bangladesh and India.[1][3]

Though C. bengalensis is closely related to C. patoca, they are distinct species.[1] A group of researchers from Bangladesh and South Korea ran their scientific research from May 2016 to December 2017 in Sundarban and discovered the new species of pufferfish.[4] The color of the species is blackish and it has tints like trellis.[5] It can grow to 32 cm (13 in) standard length.[2]
