Identification of parrotfish species by Kuiter and Tonozuka, White, and Fishbase. The results of identification showed six species of parrotfish were obtained, namely Chlorurus microrhinos (Bleeker, 1854), C. bleekeri (Deeufort, 1940), C. strongylocephalus (Bleeker, 1855), Scarus rivulatus (Valenciennes, 1840), S. niger (Forsskål, 1775), dan S. chameleon (Choat & Randall, 1986). Utilization of parrot fish resources continues to increase by> 40% annually.
