The family Epinephelidae, commonly known as grouper, includes a variety of large, robust fish found in warm marine waters. These fish are characterized by their stout bodies and large mouths, which help them catch prey like smaller fish and crustaceans. Groupers are often found around coral reefs, where they can hide from predators and ambush their meals. Groupers are not only important for the ecosystem but also for commercial fishing and recreational activities. Many species, such as the black grouper and red grouper, are popular targets for anglers. However, overfishing has led to concerns about their populations, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
