FBname: Striped-fin grouper
Comments: Appears to be a rare species, but it is of some importance to South African sport fishers along the northern coast of Natal. Coral reef-associated species inhabiting depths of 20-50 m (Ref. 89707). Feeds on fishes and invertebrates (Ref. 89707). Testes of a 61 cm SL specimen contained a central lumen and numerous 'brown bodies' along the lateral edges of the gonadal lamellae.
