Parrotfish: An overview of ecology, nutrition, and reproduction behaviour
The temporal and geographical variety of population dynamics in coral reef fish profoundly affects environmental resources.Parrotfishes are a group of about 90 fish species regarded as a family (Scaridae) or a subfamily (Scarinae) of the wrasses.

| description | The temporal and geographical variety of population dynamics in coral reef fish profoundly affects environmental resources.Parrotfishes are a group of about 90 fish species regarded as a family (Scaridae) or a subfamily (Scarinae) of the wrasses. The Indo-Pacific has the highest species richness in this category, with around 95 species. They are found in coral reefs, rocky coasts, and seagrass beds and can play a significant role in bioerosion. Most parrotfish species are herbivores, feeding mainly on epilithic algae. The development of parrotfishes is complex and accompanied by a series of changes in sex and color (polychromatism). In this review, the biological and ecological studies, the search for seasonal food, and finally, the breeding of parrotfish were shed light and clarified. Also modern tracking methods have been highlighted to monitor the migration of parrot fish. Finally, highlighting the sight of the annual seasonal stampede of parrotfish migration to Farasan Island. |
