A total of 40 species with 1,075 specimens of damselfishes were collectedand analyzed in this study.The quantitative analysis based on gradient,clustering,polar and PCA ordination methods shows that the feeding habitsof these damselfishes can be roughly grouped into four major categories,namely herbivores,zooplankton-feeders,omnivores and coral-polyp feeders.Each of the above four groups includes 7(20%),12(34%),15(43%)and 1(3%)species,respectively.The geographical variations of their food habits arealso provided and discussed in this paper.
