Where French grunt has been recorded
GBIF occurrence records for Haemulon flavolineatum, mapped and tabulated by country.
55,370 georeferenced occurrence records with coordinates are published for Haemulon flavolineatum through GBIF, from 39 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 55,370 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 34 of the 39 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 28 records in total (Haiti, Anguilla, Nicaragua, Brazil, French Guiana).
32 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.
