The fish Tetraodon nigroviridis lives in the rivers and estuaries of Indonesia, Malaysia and India. As a vertebrate, its gene pool is very similar to that of other vertebrates, including mammals such as humans and mice. It has been observed by Brenner et al. (Nature (1993) 336: 265-268) that the genome of Fugu rubripes, another puffer fish from the same family, has a remarkably low content of repetitive DNA, and this also applies to Tetraodon nigroviridis.
