• Inter-island movements of scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) and seasonal connectivity in a marine protected area of the eastern tropical Pacific (2014, background): “…at specific locations or islands, from several days to months during certain times of the year, particularly if they constitute spawning grounds (Bolden 2000; Meyer et al. 2007a), feeding sites (Klimley and anderson 1996; graham et al. 2006), cleaning stations (Homma et al. 1997; Dewar et al.…”
• Observations of a Nassau grouper, Epinephelus striatus, Spawning Aggregation Site in Little Cayman, Cayman Islands, Including Multi-Species Spawning Information (2004, background): “Possible benefits of aggregating to reproduce include reduction of egg predation, increased genetic exchange, and higher fertilization rates (Domeier & Colin 1997, Bolden 2000, Sala et al. 2001).”
• Integrating physiology and life history to improve fisheries management and conservation (2006, background): “Groupers may migrate 100 km or more to reach spawning aggregations at distinct coastal sites (Bolden 2000).”
• 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): “FSAs are composed of fish that have migrated from a few to hundreds of kilometres from their normal residence areas, and they represent most, ifnot all, of the total annual reproductive effort for the populations forming them (Sadovy and Eklund, 1999; Bolden, 2000; Domeier, 2012).”
• Fishing groupers towards extinction: a global assessment of threats and extinction risks in a billion dollar fishery (2013, background): “Adults of many larger groupers, including a number of Threatened species, undergo extensive seasonal migrations (tens to hundreds of killometre; Bolden 2000; Nemeth et al. 2007; Rhodes and Tupper 2008) to and from spawning aggregations.”
• Aggregations and offshore movements as indicators of spawning activity of bonefish (Albula vulpes) in The Bahamas (2011, background): “Other possible beneWts of aggregating to reproduce include reduction in egg predation, increased genetic exchange, and higher fertilization rates (Domeier and Colin 1997; Bolden 2000; Sala et al. 2003).”
• Spatial dynamics of the Nassau grouper Epinephelus striatus in a Caribbean atoll (2007, background): “Observations of 2 adults suggest that Nassau groupers have the potential to move up to 250 km from spawning areas on contiguous reefs (Carter et al. 1994, Bolden 2000), but localized spatial dynamics of spawning adults are poorly understood.”
