Groupers

Groupers are a large family of stout-bodied fish that inhabit coral reefs around the world. The common name appears to come from the Portuguese name for the fish, garoupa, which it is believed they got from the word used by indigineous South Americans for the fish.

Please note: Identification of fish, corals, etc. is a tricky business. It's entirely possible that I've incorrectly identified a photo I've taken. If you spot an error, please contact me so I can correct it and improve this resource.
