Heteropriacanthus cruentatus
(Glasseye Snapper)
Family: Priacanthidae
Distribution: Caribbean
We have recorded sounds for this species with unclear behavioral context, typically a single pulse associated with rapid movement. We have also recorded distinct multipulsed sounds, often produced when the fish are present in large numbers at night, suggesting possible intraspecific communication/mating behaviors.
Subtle and low frequency sounds may require headphones to hear.
