	Reproduction in the protogynous black grouper (Mycteroperca
		Black grouper is an important commercial and recreational fin fish resource in Bermuda, southern Florida, Cuba, the southern Gulf of Mexico, and Venezuela (Manooch and Mason, 1987; Cervigon, 1991; Heemstra and Randall, 1993; Claro et al., 1994).
		Black grouper were collected from commercial catches taken from rocky bottoms in both offshore and inshore waters of the Campeche Bank and in the shallow waters of the Alacranes Reef complex.
		Of the 104 fl grouper analyzed to detect gender-associated color changes, 98 were females (size range 47.0-99.0 cm), five were males (99.0-115.0 cm), and one, which presented previtellogenic oocytes and nests of spermatocytes and spermatozoa in its gonads, was classified as transitional (99 cm).

		Black groupers are have several common parasites all of which effect the stomach and intestines.
		Black groupers are commonly landed in commercial grouper fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico and the south Atlantic Ocean.
		Black groupers do not mature until they grow past 28 inches (71.1cm), landing them at sizes smaller than this may be detrimental to fl grouper populations, because many animals landed may not be given the opportunity to reproduce.

		Black grouper, marbled rockfish, fl rockfish, snider grouper, junefish (Jory and Iversen 1989).
		Black grouper are more easily distinguished from yellowfin grouper due to their having a straighter caudal fin and rows of rectangular spots and blotches, which tend to be larger and more defined than in the yellowfin grouper.
		Small fl grouper are difficult to distinguish from gag less than 40 cm because gag at that size are similar in overall coloration and marking pattern and have not yet developed the characteristic notch and rounded lobe at the angle of the preopercule.

	Black Grouper
		Black grouper prefers deeper water, especially during warmer summer months.
		The majority of fl grouper fishing on the reef is done with a carolina rig and a 4'-8' leader.
		The deep water grouper are generally not as picky about the type and size of the bait as are the grouper on the reef.

		Black groupers and gags are frequently confused with one another, but there is no mistaking the strawberry-red coloration of the red grouper.

		Black grouper are found in the western Atlantic Ocean from New England to southern Brazil, though they are not common north of the Carolinas.
		Black grouper are excellent fighters and food fish, although their flesh can occasionally cause ciguatera, a potentially fatal toxin to humans that is commonly acquired from eating reef fish.

		In the West Indies and the Florida Keys are found the yellowfin grouper, noted for its many beautiful color phases; the coney, the smallest (9 in./22.5 cm) grouper, colored a livid reddish gray with blue spots; and the Nassau grouper, the rock hind, and the gag.
		The red grouper and the fl grouper, common N to the Carolinas, form the bulk of the commercial catch; both species weigh up to 50 lb (22.5 kg).

		More than 70 species of groupers are found in the warmer waters of the U.S., but most commercial landings are comprised of two species: red grouper, Epinephelus morio; and fl grouper, Mycteroperca bonaci.
		Groupers are voracious; marine biologists have discovered new species by analyzing their stomach contents.
		Black grouper live in deeper water and are about twice the size of reds.

	Grouper Fishing in Florida
		Blacks range mostly along the southern end of Florida, from Stuart south to the Keys and along the lower stretches of the Gulf Coast, overlapping with gag populations in some neighborhoods.
		While a fl grouper’s coloration is similar to that of gags, an angler with a trained eye can discern the two fish every time.
		The old standby method, “grouper groping” which I outlined earlier, is to drop a live bait to the bottom, remove all the slack line so you can feel the bite, then wrestle the fish in a piscatorial style tug-of-war to the surface.

		Adult groupers, members of one of the largest families of fishes found in Florida waters, run the gamut of sizes and shapes, from the diminutive graysby weighing several pounds, to the mammoth goliath that can top the scales at 600 pounds or more.
		Red grouper is the most thoroughly studied of the Florida groupers, and much of what scientists know about groupers is based on research on red grouper.
		Black Grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci) Although similar in appearance to the gag, the fl grouper has a more vivid color pattern that may include brassy, bronze spots on the side of the head and body and, sometimes, dark, rectangular blotches running the length of the back.

	Black Grouper
		Black Grouper are the largest of the Mycteroperca groupers.
		The world record is 114 pounds, but no Florida record because of identity confusion with Gag Grouper, which are mistakenly called "fl grouper".
		Often confused with fl grouper; most noticeable differences are brassy spots on fl grouper; tail of gag is slightly concave, fl is square; gag has white margin on anal and caudal fins, fl does not; under 10 pounds, gag's spur on preopercle is distinctive, where fl is gently rounded.

		From gag grouper in at little as ten to twelve feet of water to the mighty warsaw grouper in several hundred feet of water, all grouper tend to like the same types of baits and presentations whether they are presented on the bottom or by trolling.
		Groupers become agitated and angry when other fish are feeding in their area, and they are very territorial.
		A groupers typical MO (modus operandi) is to emerge from the safety of their lairs to inhale a passing bait and then will quickly head back into their rocky crevice.

		Body color of the gag grouper is dependent upon the sex and age of the fish.
		The gag grouper is often confused with the fl grouper, however it may be distinguished based on the color of the fin margins.

		Groupers are usually found where the sandy bottom meets the rocky shore, and where a cave or sheltering canyon is nearby.

		In the shallow-water grouper recreational fishery and the hand-line commercial fishery, release mortality rates appear to be relatively low and, therefore, consistent with effective minimum size limits.
		This is consistent with the wording of the corresponding seasonal closure of the commercial fishery for gag, fl grouper, and red grouper.
		The Council also proposed that the recreational minimum size limit for gag and fl grouper be increased from 22 inches to 24 inches (from 55.9 cm to 61.0 cm) over the 2-year period following implementation of this final rule; however, NMFS disapproved that provision.
