Fishing groupers towards extinction: a global assessment of threats and extinction risks in a billion dollar fishery (2013, background): “…and fisheries search ever deeper areas for resources, there are exciting opportunities to protect such habitats proactively; such action could also encompass deep-water migration pathways and many spawning aggregation sites (Eklund et al. 2000; Starr et al. 2007; Sadovy de Mitcheson et al. 2008).”
Reef Fish Spawning Aggregations: Biology, Research and Management (2012, background): “…Nassau grouper used not only shallow coral reef habitat along the shelf (15–35 m) but also deeper (range 50–255 m) outer slopes below the shelf break (Starr et al. 2007 ) ; the entire spawning population descended within a few hours to depths greater than 50 m immediately after the second,…”
Conservation and fisheries effects of spawning aggregation marine protected areas: What we know, where we should go, and what we need to get there (2014, background): “dence sites and FSA sites, determine migration routes and estimate residence times and the degree of fidelity of fish to spawning aggregation sites (e.g. Nemeth et al., 2007; Starr et al., 2007; Rhodes et al., 2012).”
Phase shift to algal dominated communities at mesophotic depths associated with lionfish (Pterois volitans) invasion on a Bahamian coral reef (2011, background): “Nonetheless, MCRs are important nursery grounds for fish (e.g., Starr et al. 2007; Oxenford et al. 2008).”
