Editing Reef triggerfish (section)

==Conservation Status==

Currently under the IUCN Red List, the reef triggerfish is listed as least concern. Although because the reef triggerfish is found to live in coral reefs there are still many threats that may present themselves in the future.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Pezner |first1=A.K. |last2=Courtney |first2=T.A. |last3=Barkley |first3=H.C. |last4=Chou |first4=WC |last5=Chu |first5=HC |last6=Clements |first6=S.M. |last7=Cyronak |first7=Tyler |last8=DeGrandpre |first8=M.D. |last9=Kekuewa |first9=S.A.H. |last10=Kline |first10=D.I. |last11=Liang |first11=YB |last12=Martz |first12=T.R. |last13=Mitarai |first13=S |last14=Page |first14=H.N. |last15=Rintoul |first15=M.S. |last16=Smith |first16=J.E. |last17=Soong |first17=K |last18=Takeshita |first18=Y |last19=Tresguerres |first19=M |last20=Wei |first20=Y |last21= Yates |first21=K.K. |last22=Andersson |first22=A.J. |display-authors=3 |date=March 2023 |title=Increasing hypoxia on global coral reefs under ocean warming |journal=Nature Climate Change |volume=13 |issue=4 |pages=403–409 |doi=10.1038/s41558-023-01619-2|bibcode=2023NatCC..13..403P |url=https://oist.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/2000571/files/Pezner_MS_edits_clean_coauthors.pdf }}</ref> Currently one major threat is that of global warming and its effects on coral reefs which decrease oxygen levels and can increase hypoxia in reef triggerfish. However, one study found that reef triggerfish can tolerate high levels of hypoxia.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Wong |first1=C.C. |last2=Drazen |first2=J.C. |last3=Callan |first3=C.K. |last4=Korsmeyer |first4=K.E. |date=2018 |title=Hypoxia tolerance in coral-reef triggerfishes (Balistidae) |journal=Coral Reefs |volume=37 |issue=1 |pages=215–225 |doi=10.1007/s00338-017-1649-7|bibcode=2018CorRe..37..215W }}</ref>
