Groupers are classified in 14 genera of the subfamily Epinephelinae, which comprises at least half of the 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 12cm total length (TL) for western Atlantic Serranus species and the Pacific creole-fish (Paranthias colonus) to more than 4 m TL (≥440 kg) for the king grouper, giant grouper, groper, or brindlebass (Epinephelus lanceolatus).
