Extra Distribution Information

Common in the Caribbean Sea, Indian and western Pacific Ocean; also recorded from eastern Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans to complete this circumtropical, but patchy and disjunct, distribution.

Note that conversion of the original AFD map of states, drainage basins and coastal and oceanic zones to IBRA and IMCRA regions may have produced errors. The new maps will be reviewed and corrected as updates occur. The maps may not indicate the entire distribution. See further details below.
