Description:

"A probable spawning-associated aggregation of black grouper Mycteroperca bonaci was observed on the leeward side of the Old Providence atoll, Seaflower Biosphere Reserve, Colombia. Courtship behaviours previously reported for other grouper species, including males pursuing females, nuzzling and bumping of the anal area, and 'burst rise', were observed and described, as was a 'white-head' spawning colour phase. These results help fill the gap in published information on black grouper reproductive behaviour, providing information that can aid in the identification of spawning sites and the subsequent development of improved management and conservation strategies for this species"--P. 1.
