3,294 georeferenced occurrence records with coordinates are published for Antennarius striatus through GBIF, from 64 countries or marine areas.

How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 3,000 of the 3,294 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 58 of the 64 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 15 records in total (Cuba, French Polynesia, Egypt, Malaysia, Namibia, Virgin Islands (U.S.)).
115 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.
