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 4.7 inches (12 cm) for the Pacific creole-fish (Paranthias colonus) to more than 13 feet (4 m) and ≥970 pounds (≥440 kg) for the grouper, king grouper or brindlebass (Epinephelus lanceolatus).
