Blackvent Damsel
Dischistodus melanotus
Blackvent Damsel is a small Indo-Pacific reef damselfish associated with shallow coral-rich habitats. It is not a targeted angling species and is seldom of fishing interest except as incidental reef catch.
Bleeker's Parrotfish
Chlorurus bleekeri
Bleeker's Parrotfish is a coral-reef parrotfish from the Indo-West Pacific, best known for grazing algae and scraping substrate with fused beak-like teeth. It is not a targeted food species in most places and is usually encountered by divers or reef fish anglers rather than as a common catch.
Blubberlip
Plectorhinchus gibbosus
Blubberlip (Plectorhinchus gibbosus) is a reef-associated sweetlips found in the Indo-Pacific. It forages mostly at night on benthic invertebrates and small fishes, often over coral and rubble slopes.
Blue Chromis
Azurina cyanea
Blue Chromis is a small reef-dwelling damselfish commonly seen schooling above shallow coral and rocky reefs. It feeds on plankton in the water column and is not a target game fish in most areas.
Blue Rockfish
Sebastes mystinus
Blue Rockfish is a west coast rockfish that lives on rocky reefs and kelp beds, often in schools over high-relief structure. It feeds on small fishes and crustaceans and is commonly taken by anglers fishing near bottom structure.
Blue Runner
Caranx crysos
Blue runner is a fast, schooling jack found in warm coastal waters, often around reefs, wrecks, piers, and open bays. It is a hard-fighting but generally minor table fish; in many areas it is taken as bait or bycatch more often than targeted for sport.
Blue Weed-whiting
Haletta semifasciata
Blue Weed-whiting (Haletta semifasciata) is a poorly documented wrasse-like fish from southern Australian waters. It is associated with vegetated coastal habitats, and most biological and angling details are sparse in the literature compared with common game species.
Blue-and-yellow Fusilier
Caesio teres
The Blue-and-yellow Fusilier (Caeso teres) is a tropical reef fish recognized by its striking bicolor pattern—bright blue forward fading to vivid yellow on the rear body and tail. This schooling species inhabits coral reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific, feeding primarily on zooplankton in the water column. While not a major sport fish, it is pursued by light-tackle anglers in tropical regions and p
Blue-barred Parrotfish
Scarus ghobban
Blue-barred Parrotfish (Scarus ghobban) is a reef-associated tropical parrotfish with vivid blue bars and a beaklike mouth used to scrape algae from coral and rock. It is common on Indo-Pacific reefs and lagoon habitats, and large adults are often taken only incidentally rather than targeted.
Blue-green Chromis
Chromis viridis
Blue-green Chromis is a small Indo-Pacific damselfish common on outer reef slopes and lagoon drop-offs, usually schooling above branching corals. It is an omnivore that picks zooplankton from the water column and is popular in aquaria rather than as a sport fish.
Blue-headed Wrasse
Thalassoma amblycephalum
A small Indo-Pacific wrasse with a blue to blue-green head and a more yellowish body, usually seen over coral-rich reef slopes and lagoon habitats. It feeds on small benthic invertebrates and is a common, active reef species rather than a targeted game fish.
Blue-spotted Cornetfish
Fistularia commersonii
Blue-spotted Cornetfish is a long, pipe-like reef fish with a blue-spotted brown body and an extremely extended tail filament. It is a marine predator of shallow tropical reefs and lagoons; it is not a common target for anglers.
