Description
The striated surgeonfish (Ctenochaetus striatus) lives around reefs in the Indo-Pacific. It feeds on surface algae, putting it at risk for the accumulation of toxins that create ciguatera poisoning in the human that might one day eat it. These fish are harvested from schools numbering in the thousands, for both food and the aquarium trade.
