Bluestriped Goatfish
Upeneichthys lineatus
Bluestriped Goatfish is a slender reef-associated goatfish with a bold blue stripe, common over sandy bottoms near reefs and seagrass. It forages on the bottom for small crustaceans and worms using its chin barbels to probe the substrate.
Bluestriped Grunt
Haemulon sciurus
Bluestriped grunts are reef-associated marine fish commonly found in shallow tropical waters, where they school over coral and rocky bottoms. They feed mostly at night on small benthic invertebrates and are a modest food and bait species in parts of their range.
Bluestriped Snapper
Lutjanus kasmira
Bluestriped Snapper (Lutjanus kasmira) is a reef-associated snapper native to the Indo-Pacific and widely introduced in parts of the Hawaiian archipelago. It forms schools over reefs and drop-offs, feeding mainly on small fishes and crustaceans at dusk and night.
Bluethroat Wrasse
Notolabrus tetricus
Bluethroat Wrasse is a temperate Australasian wrasse found around rocky reefs, kelp beds, and weed-covered coastal structure. It is an active benthic feeder that picks crabs, mollusks, worms, and other invertebrates from the bottom and around reef edges.
Bogue
Boops boops
Bogue is a small, silvery coastal sparid found in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. It often schools over sandy and muddy bottoms near shore, feeding on plankton, small crustaceans, and other tiny prey.
Brassy Drummer
Kyphosus vaigiensis
Brassy Drummer is a large kyphosid reef fish found around tropical and subtropical coasts, often grazing on algae and benthic growth. It is typically taken incidentally rather than targeted as a major game fish.
Bridled Monocle Bream
Scolopsis bilineata
Bridled monocle bream is a small Indo-Pacific reef fish often seen in loose groups over coral and rubble. It feeds on small benthic invertebrates and is more of a light-tackle bycatch than a targeted sport fish.
Broomtail Wrasse
Cheilinus lunulatus
The broomtail wrasse is a large reef wrasse of Indo-Pacific coral and rocky reefs. It is a powerful, mostly solitary predator that feeds on hard-shelled invertebrates and reef fishes.
Brown Chromis
Azurina multilineata
Brown Chromis is a small schooling damselfish associated with clear tropical reefs, where it feeds on plankton in the water column. Reliable species-specific information is limited in the supplied context, so the notes below focus on the documented reef-associated ecology of Azurina multilineata.
Brown Meagre
Sciaena umbra
The Brown Meagre is a coastal sciaenid found over rocky and seagrass habitats, often by caves, ledges, and wrecks. It is nocturnal or crepuscular, feeding on small fish and crustaceans and making drumming sounds with its swim bladder.
Brown Rockfish
Sebastes auriculatus
Brown Rockfish (Sebastes auriculatus) is a nearshore Pacific rockfish that lives around structure in cool coastal waters. It is a bottom-oriented predator, and in some areas is managed with rockfish regulations and depth/size limits.
Brown Tang
Zebrasoma scopas
Brown Tang (Zebrasoma scopas) is a common reef-associated surgeonfish from the Indo-Pacific, often seen grazing algae on shallow reefs and lagoons. It is not a typical food or target species for anglers, but it may be collected for the aquarium trade in some regions.
