 Scaridae
Among the commercially significant species, the parrotfishes (Scaridae) are probably the most abundant in the lagoons of atolls.
These fishes whose size can reach 60 cm for some species, are characterized by teeth which form as a beak with which they scrape the rocks to feed on small algae.
The species of big size (Scarus microrhinos, Hipposcarus longiceps, Cetoscarus bicolor) are however vulnerable because less abundant and more required.

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.
Although the Labridae may represent a paraphyletic assemblage (Bellwood, 1994; Gomon, 1997), the conventional family classification is here adopted.
Attempts to classify the Labridae and Scaridae into phylogenetically sound subfamilies and tribes have not been satisfactory.

The majority of these fish are classified in the genera Scarus, Cetoscarus and Sparisoma. Most Parrotfish grow to well over 12 inches in length in captivity, and the largest member of this family reaches an adult size of over 60 inches in length in the wild.
Parrotfishes are closely related to wrasses but differ most obviously from them in possessing teeth fused into a distinctive beak.

This group would seem to have everything going for it as far as desirability to marine aquarists; many are spectacularly colorful, they have almost comical fusiform-torpedo body shapes, and are numerous and easy to catch (at night) as they lay sleeping with or without their fish-made mucus cocoons.
The Family Scaridae contains these Genera: ; Bolbometopon, Calotomus, Cetoscarus, Cryptotomus, Hippsoscarus, Leptoscarus, Nicholsina, Scarus, Sparisoma.
