Putative spawning aggregations of giant trevally in the Red Sea

Timing and location of transient reef fish spawning aggregations are fundamental data required to effectively manage populations, particularly those exposed commercial fisheries. The giant trevally ( Caranx ignobilis ) is a semipelagic apex predator ecological, economic, cultural significance across its Indo-Pacific range, yet information regarding regional for the species remains scarce. Here we present documentation record, first time, putative in Red Sea. Considering that other C. demonstrate highly predictable specific spatiotemporal dynamics, relevant resource managers should pursue protection strategies avoid rapid overexploitation stock.
