Fishermen in the Alacranes Reef region of Mexico were interviewed to document their traditional ecological knowledge of fish spawning aggregations in the area. They identified 13 reef fish species that form spawning aggregations at 8 different sites within the reef, with the majority being snappers and groupers. Most species were found to aggregate in the spring and summer months. While follow-up scientific studies are still needed, the fishermen's knowledge was found to be reliable based on similarities to spawning patterns observed elsewhere in the Caribbean. Future work will involve acoustic tracking of fish movements and genetic analysis to further characterize the aggregations.
