Are also caught in traps up to several kilometers offshore in deep, clear waters. Juveniles form very large schools in shallow bays and also on coral reef flats; school size reduces with size, with adults occurring in groups of 20 individuals or so. Herbivorous, feeds on benthic algae and to [details]
