Reef Fish Spawning Aggregations: Biology, Research and Management (2012, background): “Information on the intermediate habitats utilized by migrating fi shes and the migration routes that are followed to reach spawning sites comes mostly from unvalidated accounts of local fi shers (Johannes 1978, 1981 ; Garcia-Cagide et al. 2001 ; Claro and Lindeman 2003 ) .”
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, methodology): “Claro and Lindeman (2003), Marshak and Appeldoorn (2007), and Hamilton et al. (2012a) found no change in fisheries cpue and/or landings following implementation of spawning area closures, while Coleman et al. (2004a), Luckhurst and Trott (2008), and Claro et al. (2009) reported declines in…”
Connectivity, sustainability, and yield: bridging the gap between conventional fisheries management and marine protected areas (2009, background): “species make regular migrations to spawning grounds (Claro and Lindeman 2003; Kaunda-Arara and Rose 2004a).”
Spatial dynamics of the Nassau grouper Epinephelus striatus in a Caribbean atoll (2007, background): “…site harbored 30 000 to 100 000 groupers, but abundances and the numbers of spawning aggregations have greatly declined, due to overfishing, and spawning aggregations have decreased in size and/or disappeared in many countries (Carter et al. 1994, Claro & Lindeman 2003, Sadovy & Domeier 2005).”
Identification of the larval and juvenile stages of the Cubera Snapper, Lutjanus cyanopterus, using DNA barcoding (2009, background): “(mostly unpublished studies referred to in Zapata and Herron (2002) and Denit and Sponaugle (2004)); in this species we assumed they were daily.”
Larval transport pathways from Cuban snapper (Lutjanidae) spawning aggregations based on biophysical modeling (2005, background): “The low retention in the NW is consistent with lower historical catches and the geomorphology of the narrow shelf in this region (Claro et al. 2001a,b), and these populations could export a significant proportion of their spawning production.”
Spawning patterns of commercially important reef fish (Lutjanidae and Serranidae) in the tropical western South Atlantic (2011, background): “…et al., 2001), in May in the Gulf of Batabano and the northwest shelf, and in June in the south and northeast zones of the Cuban platform (Claro and Lindeman, 2003; Claro et al., 2009); while, in Venezuela, most reproductive activity for this species is reported from the early sum- SCI.…”
Historical analysis of Cuban commercial fishing effort and the effects of management interventions on important reef fishes from 1960-2005 (2009, background): “Moreover, relative to other study species the Nassau grouper has the shortest reproductive season, is highly vulnerable to traps and hook and line, and there are few spawning sites (Claro and Lindeman, 2003).”
Spawning aggregations of Lutjanus cyanopterus (Cuvier) on the Belize Barrier Reef over a 6 year period (2005, background): “Peak abundance of 4000 to 10 000 individuals was observed between April and July each year, while actual spawning was most frequently observed in May.”
