Two NATURE STUDY RED GROUPER The term Grouper covers a considerable number of usually su perior marine food fishes. The Red Grouper is not considered by some fish specialists to be a true Grou per. Rather it is classed with the Hinds and Cabarillas. The true Groupers are wider between the eyes than the Hinds and Cabril las and in general are smaller fishes not usually reaching above 40 pounds in weight. The Red Grouper rarely weighs as much as 40 pounds and the usual fish caught by hook and line runs around 1 to 5 pounds. The Red Grouper, like its rela tives has the habit of diving nto obstructions when it is hooked. Frequently this results in a cut line and freedom for the fish. The Red Grouper does not occur in schools as do some of its relatives. The fish is a poor fighter and slow in its actions but the flesh is ex cellent and the animals bring a good price in commercial mar kets. Commercial harvesting of Red Groupers is common in the fishing banks off the west coast of Flori da. The method followed is using a hook and line and a piece of fish as bait. Normal diet of the Red Grouper includes molluscs, cru staceans and fish. The food is tak en in day or night. Red Groupers range from New England to the West Indies and are possibly most abundant in 5 T-M-.w- -• • ', • I i -V. ! >‘ V., _ Red Grouper shallow waters over coral around the Florida Keys. They are well known for their ability to live some hours out of water. The Red Grouper grows to a length of 3 feet. It is basically brownish but often mottled with indistinct darker spots. There are however aoout the eyes definite darker spots. At the base of the tail there seems to be a series of obscure saddle-like patches. The fins including the tail are colored essentially like the re mainder of the fish except that there sometimes seems to be an obscure, dark band running hori zontally along the back fin and there may be dark or light margins along the edges of the paired fins. The head is large and bears a cor respondingly large mouth. The fins are all relatively large and do not indicate any ability to swim rapid ly. The end of the tail is stranght or slightly concav'e in outline. —E.
