Introduction and prospect of the systematics study of Siganidae in China

Rabbitfishes of the family Siganidae are subjected to Perciformes,Acanthuroidei,and distribute throughout the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific and Eastern Mediterranean region. There are 27 known species in the family, which are classified into 1 genus Siganus, 2 subgenera Siganus and Lo.
