GBIF occurrence records for Haemulon carbonarium, mapped and tabulated by country.
25,039 georeferenced occurrence records with coordinates are published for Haemulon carbonarium through GBIF, from 36 countries or marine areas. This page maps those records and lists where they come from. Occurrence records reflect where people have looked as well as where the species lives, so well-surveyed coastlines are over-represented.

How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 25,039 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 34 of the 36 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 14 records in total (Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of), French Guiana).
23 records plotting inland were omitted: for a marine species those are almost always the holding institution's coordinates rather than a collection site.
Records show where the species has been observed and reported, not a modelled range.
