Observations of moray eel (Muraenidae) distribution made on a Caribbean coral reef are discussed in the context of long term population trends. Observations of eel distribution made using SCUBA during 1978, 1979–1980, and 1984 are compared and related to the occurrence of a hurricane in 1979. An estimate of the mean standing stock of moray eels is presented. The degree of site attachment is discussed for spotted morays (Gymnothorax moringa) and goldentail morays (Muraena miliaris). The repeated non-aggressive association of moray eels with large aggregations of potential prey fishes is detailed. |
