The Hawaiian sergeant or green damselfish (Abudefduf abdominalis) is a non-migratory fish of the family Pomacentridae. It occurs in the Pacific Ocean in the Hawaiian Islands, Midway Island and Johnston Atoll.[1] It can grow to a maximum length of 30 cm. Found in quiet waters with rocky bottoms in inshore and offshore reefs; juveniles sometimes found in surge pools. Benthopelagic, adults form schools. Feed on a variety of algae and zooplankton. Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding. Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate. Males guard and aerate the eggs. Used as food by the Hawaiians .[2] It occasionally reaches the aquarium trade.[1]
