Blackback Anemonefish
Amphiprion melanopus
Blackback Anemonefish (Amphiprion melanopus) is a coral-reef clownfish of the tropical Indo-Pacific, typically living in close association with sea anemones. It is a small, territorial omnivore with strong site fidelity to its host.
Blackback Butterflyfish
Chaetodon melannotus
Blackback Butterflyfish is a reef-associated Indo-Pacific butterflyfish that feeds mainly on coral polyps and small benthic invertebrates. It is generally encountered in clear coastal and outer-reef habitats and is more of an ornamental reef species than a target for anglers.
Blackbanded Darter
Percina nigrofasciata
The blackbanded darter is a small, bottom-dwelling freshwater percid of clear streams and rivers with moderate current, where it picks tiny aquatic insects from the substrate. It is primarily an observation species rather than a target for anglers.
Blackbar Damselfish
Plectroglyphidodon dickii
Blackbar Damselfish is a small reef damselfish found on shallow coral and rocky reefs in the Indo-Pacific. It is strongly territorial and usually stays close to branching corals where it feeds on benthic algae and tiny invertebrates.
Blackbar Soldierfish
Myripristis jacobus
Blackbar Soldierfish is a nocturnal reef fish found over coral and rocky drop-offs. It shelters by day in crevices and feeds at night on plankton and small benthic invertebrates.
Blackbarred Wrasse
Thalassoma nigrofasciatum
The Blackbarred Wrasse (Thalassoma nigrofasciatum) is a tropical reef fish recognized by its distinctive black barring or vertical stripes. This small to medium-sized wrasse inhabits coral reef environments where it forages for small benthic invertebrates. Little specific information exists in widely available fisheries literature regarding its angling importance.
Blackblotched Porcupinefish
Diodon liturosus
Blackblotched porcupinefish is a medium-large spiny puffer of tropical Indo-Pacific reefs, lagoons, and sheltered coastal waters. It inflates when threatened and carries potent tetrodotoxin in its tissues and organs.
Blackchin Tilapia
Sarotherodon melanotheron
Blackchin tilapia is an euryhaline African cichlid now established in many tropical and subtropical coastal waters and estuaries. It thrives in warm, low-salinity bays, lagoons, mangroves, canals, and brackish marshes, often in turbid, vegetation-lined water.
Zwartooggrondel
Rhinogobiops nicholsii
De Zwartooggrondel is een kleine mariene grondel die veel voorkomt op rotsige riffen, kelpwouden en beschutte kustgebieden. Hij blijft dicht bij de bodem in ondiep water en wordt vaak waargenomen op substraten of in spleten.
Blackeye Thicklip
Hemigymnus melapterus
Blackeye Thicklip is een rifgebonden lipvis die voorkomt op tropische Indo-Pacific rifgebieden. Het fourageert op gemengde algen en ongewervelde prooien langs koraal en puin, en is eerder een voedsel-/fourageersoort dan een gebruikelijk sportdoelwit.
Blackfin Barracuda
Sphyraena qenie
De blackfin barracuda is een grote, gestroomlijnde roofvis van Indo-Pacific rifgebieden en offshore hellingen. Het is voornamelijk een solitaire hinderlaagjager die jaagt op kleinere vissen en af en toe ongewervelden, en wordt meer gewaardeerd als sportvis dan als consumptievis.
Zwartlipvlinder
Chaetodon kleinii
De Zwartlipvlinder (Chaetodon kleinii) is een rifgebonden vlindervis die voorkomt in de gehele Indische-Stille Oceaan, vaak rond koraal- en rotsriffen, lagunes en buitenste rifhellingen. Het voedt zich met kleine bentische ongewervelden, vooral koraalpoliepen, wormen en schaaldieren.
