Meet the Goliath Grouper

It's been illegal to harvest the friendly and curious goliath grouper fish for the past 27 years.

 

The goliath, Epinephelus itajara, is the largest grouper in the western hemisphere, and can reach 8 feet in length and more than 1,000 pounds. ...

 

Individuals can travel 100 miles to spawn. ...

 

These adaptable fish can live in brackish water and tolerate low oxygen levels.
