Abstract
Rabbitfishes belong to the family Siganidae include a group of potentially important aquaculture species occurring in the indo pacific, Indian Ocean, Red sea and Eastern Mediterranean regions and are subtropical euryhaline herbivorous fishes. There are 27 species of siganids. In nature, they found in reefs among seagrass, mangroves and in shallow lagoons and algae form a major part of their food. Siganus canaliculatus, an important candidate for aquaculture, has been found to tolerate wide range of salinity (17- 37ppt) in its natural habitat. Though siganids are primarily herbivorous, under captivity the juveniles and adults show omnivorous feeding habits and will accept a variety of foodstuffs viz. vegetable and animal origin as well as pellet feed.
