Background
In Minecraft Java Edition 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20, the entity value for a pufferfish is pufferfish. The pufferfish entity has a unique set of NBT tags that can be used in Minecraft commands such as: /summon and /data.
What are NBT tags (formerly called Data Tags)?
NBT tags allow you to set certain properties of an entity (such as pufferfish). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {NoAI:1}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {NoAI:1,CustomName:”\”Fishy\””}.

/summon pufferfish ~ ~ ~ {NoAI:1}
To summon a pufferfish that is named Spike and has no artificial intelligence:
/summon pufferfish ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"\"Spike\"", NoAI:1}
Target Selectors
Before we finish discussing data tags, let’s quickly explore how to use the @e target selector. The @e target selector allows you to target entities in your commands. If you use the type=pufferfish value, you can target pufferfish:
@e[type=pufferfish]
Target Selector Examples
To change the nearest pufferfish to have no artificial intelligence:
/data merge entity @e[type=pufferfish,limit=1,sort=nearest] {NoAI:1}
To kill all pufferfish:
/kill @e[type=pufferfish]
Next, learn how to use the game commands in Minecraft.
