This resource provides information on the Blue Tang (Paracanthurus hepatus), focusing on its ecological function in coral reef systems through algae grazing. It discusses threats to the species and reef habitats, including overfishing, habitat degradation, and tourism‑related pressures. This video also introduces the ASEAN ENMAPS initiative to illustrate the role of marine protected areas in supporting reef ecosystem management and the conservation of reef‑associated fish species. |
