There are also several species of "grunts" (Haemulidae) in the Caribbean
that vocalize. White grunts, yellow grunts, French grunts, etc. etc. etc.
They are quite common.
I agree that local fishers are probably the best way to find out what is
going on...although you have to be familiar with the local idioms of fish ID
to use that information effectively.
