What is the zoological name for 'pez arana'

Question

I'm trying to find out whether pez araña is a species of puffer fish. To do this, I need to know its zoological classification.

Answer 1

You're really going the long way round!

All you have to do is put Pez Arana into wikipedia: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pez_arana

Then click the link to switch to the English language on the side:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_weever

Bang, it's A Greater Weever or Trachinus draco. Wikipedia is really useful for this sort of thing.

Answer 2

Thank God there is Wikipedia:

The greater weever, Trachinus draco

El pez escorpión (Trachinus draco), también denominado pez araña o faneca brava.
