The family of fish that includes girella and other similar marine fish species, characterized by their herbivorous diet and compressed bodies.
From scientific Latin Girellidae, the standard taxonomic family name formed by adding -idae (family suffix) to the genus Girella.
Girellidae are one of the few herbivorous fish families, and they're crucial in temperate reef ecosystems—without them, seaweed would overgrow and choke out the reef system entirely.
