Between 1992 and 2006, this species has spread rapidly north- and southward along the eastern seaboard of the USA (Ref. 79593). In a 17 year survey study in Southeast USA, the significant decrese in abundance (46%) of the Haemulon aurolineatum has been attributed to the arrival/presence of the species (Ref. 117434).
