Kyphosidae
Kyphosidae is a family of fish commonly known as the sea chubs. They are primarily found in warm coastal waters around the world, particularly in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. These fish are characterized by their deep, compressed bodies and small mouths, which are adapted for grazing on algae and other plant materials.
Sea chubs typically inhabit rocky reefs, coral reefs, and sandy bottoms. They play an important role in their ecosystems by helping to control algal growth. Many species within the Kyphosidae family are also popular among anglers and are often sought after for recreational fishing.
