Description:"The bumphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum) is a large, benthic grazing fish found on coral reefs of the Indo-West Pacific. Bumphead parrotfish do not occur within state waters of the United State (U.S.), but occur in certain U.S. jurisdictions such as the territories of Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa; and in the U.S. Pacific Remote Island Areas (PRIAs) of Palmyra, Jarvis Island, and Wake Island (Mundy, et al. 2011). The bumphead parrotfish is thought to be a potential keystone species and could play an important role in ecological processes (Bellwood et al., 2003)"--Introduction.
