Note(s): The Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus, family Serranidae) ranges throughout the tropical western Atlantic. Like several Pacific species, it is highly valued commercially and in many areas is severely depleted. We have studied the reproduction and culture of Nassau groupers since 1987. They were raised from eggs to adults with good growth and feed conversion, and some were successfully tagged and released in a tropical coral reef environment. This report summarizes major results of the program.
