ABSTRACT

Three species of groupers, Epinephelus fuscoguttatus, E. polyphekadion and Plectropomus areolatus aggregate to spawn at overlapping locations and during overlapping seasons in Palau, Micronesia. We monitored spawning aggregations of all three species at each of three sites for 2 - 3 years.
