GBIF occurrence records for Ostorhinchus doederleini, mapped and tabulated by country.
1,781 georeferenced occurrence records with coordinates are published for Ostorhinchus doederleini through GBIF, from 17 countries or marine areas.

How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 1,781 of the 1,781 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 17 of the 17 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 0 records in total.
35 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.
