Una agregación reproductiva del pargo Cubera ha sido documentada por Heyman et al (2005) para las costas de Belice; la agregación exhibió una magnitud numérica de 4,000 a 10,000 individuos, principalmente en Mayo. De acuerdo a Heyman et al., el pargo Cubera forma agregaciones consistentes en relación a localidad, fotoperíodo, ciclo lunar y temperatura del agua. Dicha agregación se forma dentro de la Reserva Marina Gladden Spit, en la costa sur de Belice. Para mayores detalles, consultar el artículo: Heyman et al. (2005).

A spawning aggregation of Cubera snapper has been documented by Heyman et al. (2005) for the coasts off Belize. The aggregations exhibited a numerical magnitude between 4,000 to 10,000 indivuduals during May. According to Heyman et al., the Cubera snapper builds consistent aggregations in relation to location, photoperiod, lunar cycle and water temperature. Such aggregation forms within the Gladden Spit Marine Reserve at southern Belize. For more details, access the article: Heyman et al. (2005).
