Parrotfish are found on almost every coral reef in the world. This
ubiquity and uniqueness of their feeding action make them one of
the most important groups of fishes within coral reef ecosystems.
But why, exactly, are parrotfish so important to reefs? Can the
evolution of a particular jaw morphology and feeding action really
have had such a large impact on the health and functioning of the
world's coral reefs? This book introduces the reader to this
fascinating group of fishes (Labridae, Scarinae), from the
morphological innovation of a jaw that has the power to bite
through solid calcium carbonate, to the threats currently faced by
parrotfish populations around the world. It contains new insights
into their diet and food processing ability, and lifehistories, and
concludes with an overview of emerging and future research
directions.
