Gut length and mass in herbivorous and carnivorous prickleback fishes (Teleostei: Stichaeidae): ontogenetic, dietary, and phylogenetic effects (2006, unknown): “Even atherinopsids, which have relatively short, stomachless digestive tracts (Logothetis et al. 2001), exhibit increased gut length with increased degree of herbivory (Horn et al. 2005).”
Zebrafish as a model organism for nutrition and growth: towards comparative studies of nutritional genomics applied to aquacultured fishes (2011, background): “They may be classified broadly by their feeding habits as either detritivores, herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores (Moyle and Cech 2000; Horn et al. 2006).”
Nutritional ecology of marine herbivorous fishes: ten years on (2009, background): “Work to date suggests that alimentary anatomy is frequently not a reliable guide to functional capacity in herbivorous fishes (Choat et al. 2004; Horn et al .”
The Gut Microbiota of Marine Fish (2018, unknown): “Regardless of diet, the gut of some ﬁsh consists simply of a short tubular intestine, e.g., parrotﬁsh, Scarus radicans (Horn et al., 2006).”
