Ranges from Paraíba south to São Paulo, including Manuel Luiz Reefs, Atol das Rocas, Fernando de Noronha, St. Paul's Rocks, Abrolhos Reefs, and Trindade Island (Ref. 57756). Feeds on spinner dolphins’ feces and vomits at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago. The offal feeding may be regarded as a simple behavioral shift from plankton feeding to drifting offal picking (Ref. 48727). Also Ref. 3725, 13121, 13442, 33499, 95333. |
