Malabar Grouper
Alternative names: Greasy Grouper, Epinephelus malabaricus
The malabar grouper is a robust marine fish with brown head and long body that is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the Indian and West Pacific Oceans.
The malabar grouper is very important in commercial and recreational fisheries. Sadly, this importance caused a decrease in its population which led to them being listed as "Near Threatened" by the IUCN.
