The Red Grouper is a popular fish found in the warm waters of the western Atlantic Ocean, particularly around the Florida Keys and the Gulf of Mexico. It has a robust body, typically displaying a reddish-brown color with lighter spots. This species can grow up to 20 inches long and weigh around 50 pounds, making it a sought-after catch for both commercial and recreational fishermen. Red Groupers prefer rocky or coral reefs where they can hide from predators. They primarily feed on smaller fish and crustaceans. Due to overfishing concerns, regulations are in place to manage their populations and ensure sustainable fishing practices.
