Rabbitfishes (family Siganidae) are a vital yet often overlooked group of fishes in coral reef and seagrass ecosystems native to the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific region. Known broadly as herbivores with low comparative species diversity among tropical fishes, what makes rabbitfishes distinctive and how do these traits contribute to their ecological significance? This book delves into the biology, ecology, evolution, and behaviour of rabbitfishes, from their nutritional adaptations to their complex social behaviours and life histories. It also explores recent invasions into new habitats, their role in fisheries and aquaculture, and highlights promising directions for future research on these essential marine species.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
藍子魚（Siganidae 科）是原生於熱帶與亞熱帶印度—太平洋地區、對珊瑚礁與海草生態系至關重要，卻經常被忽視的一群魚類。藍子魚廣泛被視為草食性魚類，且相較於熱帶魚類，其物種多樣性較低；那麼，藍子魚有哪些獨特特徵？這些特徵又如何促成其生態重要性？
本書深入探討藍子魚的生物學、生態學、演化與行為，涵蓋其營養適應、複雜的社會行為，以及生活史等面向。本書也探討藍子魚近期入侵新棲地的情況、其在漁業與水產養殖中的角色，並指出未來研究這些重要海洋物種時值得關注的發展方向。
