The most frequently sighted fish in Bonaire





Lots of divers record all the fish species that they see during a dive. The fish that is reported on the most surveys in Bonaire is the stoplight parrotfish. Terminal phase adults are not terribly common, but initial phase adults are all around, and juveniles are even more abundant. From bottom to top: early juveniles (less than 1 inch), juvenile (about 3 inches), initial phase adult (about 10 inches) and terminal phase adults (1 to 1/2 ft.).
