Marbled Grouper Epinephalus tauvina Family Serranidae This common market fish is extensively cultivated in many local fish farms. Young fish are common in shallow waters along most muddy and sandy shores. Large specimens easily reach a metre in length. This fish is interesting because smaller specimens are almost always males, and as they grow larger, they undergo a sex change to females! Groupers are carnivores.
