Remarks Inhabits the lagoon and outer reef slope. Spawning aggregations are found near the outer reef edge throughout the year, from the tenth to the fifteenth (full moon) day of the lunar month. Local fishers say that keremlal is best caught during and shortly after the full moon; droplines are mainly used (Ref. 2928). Also Ref. 100752, 100789.
