The most endangered fish are the least studied

The most threatened reef fishes are also the most overlooked by scientists and the general public.

The public, on the other hand, is primarily influenced by the aesthetic characteristics of certain species, such as the red lionfish (Pterois volitans) and the mandarinfish (Synchiropus splendidus).
