Nassau Grouper, Epinephelus striatus (Bloch 1792) Biological Report

This report is intended to document the current state of knowledge of Nassau grouper, throughout its biological range. It borrows sections generously from an earlier NOAA Technical Report, NMFS 146 (Sadovy and Eklund 1999), and a recent Caribbean Fishery Management Council report (Sadovy de Mitcheson 2012), with additional information added from other publications, reports and personal accounts. In an attempt to consolidate and streamline the relevant information some references to reports, communications, tables, and figures point to those two original reports; they are considered companions to this report.
