Description

Sea chubs are eaten in some regions but aren't a major food fish. The flesh can taste strong because of their largely plant-based, algae-grazing diet.

Sea chubs (family Kyphosidae) are nearshore marine fish found in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, usually close to shore around reefs and rocky areas. The family includes Bermuda chub, opaleye, and halfmoon.
