Topic: Epinephelus


  
  Grouper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The common name grouper is usually given to fish in one of two large genera: Epinephelus and Mycteroperca.
Interestingly, in New Zealand and Australia, the name for several species of Grouper is referred to as Groper, as in the Epinephelus lanceolatus Queensland Groper.
It could be that Epinephelus lanceolatus does not grow that big more often because it needs a big enough shelter to hide from attack by sharks, and that the situation may change if the current worldwide decimation of sharks for the shark fin trade continues.

 Species Name
The red grouper, Epinephelus morio, is a moderately sized, robust grouper that grows to approximately 125 cm (4.1 feet) and may weigh 23 kg (50.7 pounds) or more.
Further, the pelvic fins in the red grouper are shorter than the pectorals and are inserted posterior to the pectoral fin base.
Epinephelus morio is more abundant in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and in south Florida than it is in east central Florida.

 Description Goliath Grouper - Epinephelus itajara   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Of incidental note is the fact that various authors have incorrectly spelled the specific epithet "itajara" as "itaiara." This name comes from the Greek Epinephelus meaning clouded over, referring to the membrane of another species of grouper.
And although goliath grouper are assumed to conform to this reproductive mode, a 1992 study of the age, growth, and reproduction of the species found no transitional individuals, the most direct evidence of sex reversal.
However, the significance of this finding is of diminished value when one considers that transitional individuals are known to be rare amongst confirmed species of protogynous hermaphrodites, such as the red grouper (Epinephelus morio) and gag (Mycteroperca microlepis).

Epinephelus striatus was first described by the German Ichthyologist Marcus Eliese Bloch in 1792.
The genus name comes from the Greek Epinephelus meaning clouded over, referring to the membrane of another species of grouper while striatus is Latin, referring to the striped color pattern.

 Spotted Cabrilla
Fish Identification Photos: Spotted Cabrilla or Pinto Bass, Epinephelus analogus: The Spotted Cabrilla is characterized by its overall reddish brown body, the numerous circular dark spots for which it is named, and broad dusky bars.
They are considered to be an excellent food fish and are a prime quarry of the sportfishing industry of the central Sea of Cortez, although they have become quite uncommonly caught, due to decades of over fishing and slow reproductive and growth rates.
Spotted Cabrilla, Epinephelus analogus: Mike Auditore caught this huge 45-pound Pinto Bass, or Spotted Cabrilla on his boat El Gato Blanco out of Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco), Sonora, Mexico, in June 2004.

Named after the potato-shaped markings on its body, the potato cod (Epinephelus tukula) is one of the largest members of the groper family.
Gropers, or "cods" as they are commonly termed in Australia, are large bottom-feeding fish, found mainly in the tropical and sub-tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Any member of the family Serranidae, such as the Queensland or giant groper (Epinephelus lanceolatus), that is caught in WA waters and exceeds 120cm in length (about 20kg in weight) must be returned alive to the water.
