The trophic status of herbivorous fishes on coral reefs
TL;DR: Estimates of the abundance of the different groupings of nominally herbivorous fishes indicated that the dominant elements in the reef grazing and browsing fauna were consumers of detrital and sedimentary materials.

Intestinal microbiota in fishes: what's known and what's not
TL;DR: It is concluded that microbial community composition must be viewed within an informed context of host ecology and physiology, and that this is of particular importance with respect to research planning and sampling design.

VERTEBRATE HERBIVORES IN MARINE AND TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS: A Nutritional Ecology Perspective
TL;DR: This review provides a foundation for a nutritional ecology of marine vertebrate herbivores, especially teleost fish, by summarizing the available information on their digestive physiology and identifying research priorities in the field.

Nutritional ecology of marine herbivorous fishes: ten years on
TL;DR: An overview of recent progress in the nutritional ecology of marine herbivorous fishes is given, and two recent paradigms are examined that are considered important in the development of the field: (i) the role of temperature in latitudinal gradients of diversity and abundance, and (ii) the impact of these fishes on coral reefs.
Hindgut fermentation in three species of marine herbivorous fish.
TL;DR: The rates of acetate production in the gut of three species of temperate marine herbivorous fish from northeastern New Zealand are estimated, and they are comparable to those found in the guts of Herbivorous reptiles and mammals.
