Groupers are classified in 14 genera of the subfamily Epinephelinae, which comprises at least half the approximately 449 species in the family Serranidae. Throughout most warm and temperate marine regions, serranids are highly valued for food, and both small and large species are kept in aquariums. Maximum size ranges from about 12 em total length (TL) for the western Atlantic Setranus species and the Pacific creolefish Pantnthias countus to more than 4 m TL (≥440 kg, mature at 129 cm) for the king grouper, giant grouper, groper, or brindlebass Epinephelus lanceolatus.
