What is grupers?

Groupers are a type of large-bodied fish belonging to the family Serranidae. They can be found in various oceans around the world, including the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans.

These fish are typically solitary, bottom-dwelling creatures that are known for their impressive size and strength. Some species of groupers can grow to be over 6 feet in length and weigh over 800 pounds.

Groupers are carnivorous, feeding primarily on smaller fish, crustaceans, and squid. They are also known for their ability to change color and pattern to blend in with their surroundings, which allows them to ambush prey more effectively.

Many species of grouper are highly valued by commercial and recreational fishermen, and are considered a delicacy in many parts of the world. Overfishing and habitat destruction have led to declines in some populations of groupers, which has led to increased conservation efforts.
