Records indicated as “unpub” are confi rmed records by experienced observers, authors in this
volume. Often times there is additional information to support the observations, such as photographs or video of the spawning, with gamete cloud visible, collection of eggs, collection females
with hydrated eggs and others
See also species case studies in Chapter 12. ? denotes unclear if fi rst record
Key:
Type: T transient, R resident, D demersal, DP demersal parental care, U uncertain
Location: A Atlantic, P Pacifi c, EP Eastern Pacifi c, I Indian
a Additional supporting evidence is available
b While spawning observations are not questioned, whether the species engage in true aggregation
or simple migratory spawning is not positively known, hence these are listed as “probable”
aggregation spawners
c case study this volume as part of Chap. 12
