Pritzker Laboratory - Bird Diversity The largest group we are studying are the bright and colorful wrasses of the family Labridae. Thought to be a sub-group of the Labridae, the 88 species of scarids have received considerable attention due to their significant ecological role in algal herbivory and sand production during digestion.

Monterey Bay Aquarium: Online Field Guide Males and females of the same species generally look quite different and, like wrasses (the Labridae family), female parrotfishes may change into males. Parrotfishes play an important role in the growth of the coral reef—they feed on algae that could smother the coral if they didn’t eat it. Wrasses (the Labridae family) share this swimming style. www.mbayaq.org /efc/living_species/default.asp?hOri=0&hab=10&inhab=486   (437 words)

Bioline International Official Site (site up-dated regularly) An annotated checklist of the species of the fish families Labridae and Scaridae is presented; 541 valid species are recognized, including 68 genera and 453 species of labrids and 10 genera and 88 species of scarids. Although it is widely accepted that the Labridae, Scaridae and Odacidae represent a monophyletic assemblage, inclusion of these three families into a single family is still a topic of debate. The species of Labridae vary greatly in shape, from slender to moderately deep-bodied, from long-snouted to short-snouted, and with caudal fins from rounded to lunate. www.bioline.org.br /request?fb00001   (10742 words)
