A triggerfish is any marine bony FISH of the
family Balistidae, with a laterally
compressed body, up to 60cm (2ft) long, and
deep belly. They have small mouths but strong
jaws and teeth. The first spine on the dorsal
fin locks into an erect position, allowing
them to fasten themselves securely in
crevices for protection.
