Description

Also known as Banded Grouper, Cod, Hind, Rockcod, Six-banded Grouper, Tropical Grouper, Trout.

Found singly, over mud, rock, and sandy bottoms, of reefs.
They feed on benthic crustaceans, small fish, and molluscs.
Length - 60cm
Depth - 10-50m
Widespread Northwest Pacific

Groupers are solitary carnivores that hunt near the bottom usually at dusk. Food is drawn into their mouths by a powerful suction when they open their overly large mouths and then swallowed whole.
Spawning is seasonal and controlled by the moons phase. Ref: https://www.fishbase.se/summary/Epinephelus-awoara.html
