The wrasses are a family, Labridae, of marine ray-finned fish, many of which are brightly colored. The family is large and diverse, with over 600 species in 81 genera, which are divided into nine subgroups or tribes.
Jamaican cuisine includes a mixture of cooking techniques, flavours and spices influenced by Amerindian, West African, Irish, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Indian, Chinese and Middle Eastern people who have inhabited the island. It is also influenced by indigenous crops, as well as, crops and livestock introduced to the island from Mesoamerica, Europe, tropical West Africa and Southeast Asia— which are now grown locally. A wide variety of seafood, tropical fruits and meats are available.

Eosaurichthys is an extinct genus, or potentially subgenus, of marine saurichthyid ray-finned fish that lived during the late Permian epoch to potentially the Early Triassic epoch (Olenekian). It is one of the earliest saurichthyid genera known from the fossil record. If E. madagascariensis is a member of this genus, then it appears to have survived the Permian-Triassic extinction event.
Eomesodon is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine pycnodont fish.
Eosemionotus is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine macrosemiid ray-finned fish from the Middle Triassic. It was a speciose genus known from throughout Europe, including formations of the Muschelkalk.
The roving coral grouper, also known as the spotted coral grouper, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grouper from the subfamily Epinephelinae which is part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses. It is found in the Indo-Pacific, although the Red Sea taxon, P. marisrubri, is regarded as a separate species by some authorities.

The floral wrasse is a species of wrasse native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean from the coast of Africa to the Tuamotus and Marquesas. Its range extends as far north as the Ryukyus and south to New Caledonia. It is an inhabitant of reefs in lagoons or coastal waters at depths of from 1 to 30 m. This species can reach 45 cm (18 in) in total length. It is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries and can also be found in the aquarium trade.
The tripletail wrasse is a species of marine ray-finned fish from the family Labridae, the wrasses.

Cheilinus abudjubbe, the Abudjubbe wrasse, is a species of ray-finned fish from the family Labridae, the wrasses. It is found in the western Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. This species was formally described by Eduard Rüppell in 1835, no type locality was given but it is thought to have been Jeddah. This taxon is regarded as a synonym of the tripletail wrasse by some authorities.
The snooty wrasse, also known as the red maori wrasse, is a species of marine ray-finned fish from the family Labridae, the wrasses. It is a widespread Indo-Pacific reef fish.
