Bonefish
Albula vulpes
Bonefish (Albula vulpes) is a fast, schooling flats fish prized for stealthy sight-fishing and long runs on light tackle. It lives in warm shallow coastal waters, often feeding on small invertebrates over sand and turtle grass.
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.
Brown Wrasse
Labrus merula
Brown wrasse (Labrus merula) is a reef-associated wrasse of the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean, usually found over rocky and algal bottoms. It is a small to medium predatory fish that picks crabs, mollusks, worms, and other benthic prey from the substrate.
Brownspotted Wrasse
Notolabrus parilus
Brownspotted wrasse is a coastal temperate reef fish from southern Australia and nearby waters, usually seen over rocky reefs, kelp, and seagrass beds. It forages close to the bottom on small benthic invertebrates and is not a major target for most anglers.
Buffalo Sculpin
Enophrys bison
Buffalo sculpin is a bottom-dwelling sculpin of cold North Pacific coastal waters, usually found over rocky or mixed seabeds. It lies in wait and ambushes small invertebrates and fish near the bottom.
Bullseye Puffer
Sphoeroides annulatus
Bullseye puffer is a small tropical pufferfish from the eastern Pacific, commonly found in shallow coastal waters. It uses strong beak-like teeth to crush hard-shelled prey and can be cautious around baited hooks because of its probing feeding style.
