Note

The rough triggerfish, Canthidemlis maculatus (Bloch), ranges from New Jersey to Argentina in the western Atlantic, and also occurs in the eastern Pacific and lndo-Pacific (Moore, 1967). Because it is an offshore species, the rough triggerfish is rarely encountered and thus little is known of its life history and general ecology. I report here on the pelagic capture of several young rough triggerfish and on subsequent observations of their behavior in captivity.
