| Regions Fished: | Gulf of Mexico, most notably along the coasts are reefs of Florida. |
| World Record: | |
| Common Tackle: | |
| Additional Information:
The Nassau grouper is fished both commercially and for sport; it is less shy than other groupers, and is readily approached by scuba divers. However, its numbers have been sharply reduced by overfishing in recent years, and it is a slow breeder. Furthermore its historic spawning areas are easily targeted for fishing, which tends to remove the reproductively active members of the group. |
