Preferred Algae/Plants of Herbivorous Fishes
Algaebase.org
This tool provides information on plants (algae, seagrass, seaweeds, terrestrial plants or fruits) preferred as food by herbivorous fishes in a given country or ecosystem. The tool is meant to assist conservationists and managers in ecosystem-based fisheries management. In particular, it facilitates identifying those herbivore fishes that should be protected from overfishing to prevent algal outbreaks and overgrowth of corals.
