"Rabbitfishes (Siganidae) occur on tropical and subtropical reefs throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and Mediterranean Sea. Despite their ubiquity and significance within artisanal food fisheries across the Indo-Pacific they have been somewhat neglected in the literature; relegated to a supporting role in the story of their closest cousins, the surgeonfishes. The simplistic taxonomic structure of the Siganidae (just 29 species grouped in a single genus) belies the diversity of diets, habitat associations, social structures, and life history strategies among species. This book turns the spotlight firmly onto rabbitfish, introducing the reader to this fascinating family of fishes, from their critical importance in reef processes, to their capacity to colonise and modify novel habitats and threats currently faced by rabbitfish populations around the world. It contains new insights into their life histories, diet, susceptibility to environmental change, and concludes with an overview of emerging and future research directions"-- Provided by publisher.
