Bar Jack
Caranx ruber
Bar jack is a fast, reef-associated jacks species found around coral reefs, ledges, and drop-offs in warm Atlantic and Caribbean waters. It often feeds in small schools on baitfish and crustaceans, and is a common light-tackle game fish where legal to keep.
Barred Filefish
Cantherhines dumerilii
A rare reef-associated filefish from the Indo-Pacific, usually seen alone or in pairs around coral and rocky bottoms with good algal growth. It browses on small benthic invertebrates and algae rather than chasing fast prey.
Barred Hamlet
Hypoplectrus puella
Barred hamlet is a small western Atlantic reef fish with a high-backed, laterally compressed body and dark vertical bars. It lives around coral and rocky reefs, usually at shallow to moderate depths, where it ambushes small crustaceans and fishes from crevices.
Barred Mudskipper
Periophthalmus argentilineatus
A semi-terrestrial mudskipper of mangrove mudflats and tidal creeks, this species spends much of its time out of water and is closely tied to soft intertidal habitats. It is not a typical food or sport fish, and angling interest is mostly incidental or for observation.
Barred Rabbitfish
Siganus doliatus
Barred Rabbitfish (Siganus doliatus) is a reef-associated herbivore found on tropical Indo-Pacific coasts and lagoons. It grazes heavily on algae in shallow reef flats, seagrass edges, and coral-rich sheltered waters.
Barred Soapfish
Diploprion bifasciatus
Barred Soapfish is a small serranid reef fish with bold dark bars and a laterally compressed body. It is an uncommon reef associate in the Indo-Pacific; like other soapfish, it can release a noxious mucus when stressed.
Barred Thicklip
Hemigymnus fasciatus
Barred Thicklip is a reef-associated wrasse from Indo-Pacific waters, recognized by its barred body pattern and thick fleshy lips. It forages on hard-bottom reefs, where it picks small benthic invertebrates from the substrate.
Barrier Reef Anemonefish
Amphiprion akindynos
Barrier Reef Anemonefish is a small coral-reef clownfish from the western Pacific, especially the Great Barrier Reef region. It lives closely with host sea anemones and feeds on plankton, algae, and tiny benthic invertebrates.
Bay Anchovy
Anchoa mitchilli
Bay anchovy is a small, schooling estuarine anchovy common in bays, tidal rivers, and nearshore coastal waters. It feeds mainly on plankton and tiny crustaceans, and serves as important forage for larger fish.
Beaugregory
Stegastes leucostictus
Beaugregory is a small Caribbean damselfish that lives in shallow reef habitats and seagrass edges, often defending a small territory. It feeds mainly on algae and benthic invertebrates and is common but not a major angling target.
Bengal Sergeant
Abudefduf bengalensis
The Bengal Sergeant is a reef-associated damselfish found on shallow coastal reefs, lagoons, and surge zones across the Indo-Pacific. It forms small groups and feeds on plankton and tiny benthic invertebrates, but it is not a common targeted gamefish.
Bentstick Pipefish
Trachyrhamphus bicoarctatus
A slender Indo-Pacific pipefish that lives in shallow coastal waters and seagrass habitats, where it uses its long snout to pick tiny crustaceans from vegetation and bottom cover. It is not a common angling target, and most records come from scientific surveys rather than fishing catches.
