ABSTRACT This study describes histological observations of the gonads of 12 captive leopard grouper, M. rosacea maintained in captivity. Monthly gonad samples during February to April 2003, were obtained by catheterization and analyzed to determine sex and degree of ovarian development. Oocytes were classified into 5 stages of development and the fre- quencies were obtained to describe the oocyte distribution in the ovary. Two fish that were females in February were in a bisexual stage in March and functional males in April. The transitional stage was observed during the reproductive season and included degeneration of primary oocytes and proliferation of spermatogonia. Key words: Gonad development, leopard grouper, captivity.

Feeding habits of the leopard grouper, Mycteroperca rosacea (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Epinephelidae), in the central Gulf of California, BCS, Mexico. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 49 (1): 9–22. Background. The leopard grouper, Mycteroperca rosacea (Streets, 1877), is endemic to north-western Mexico and has high commercial value. Although facts of its basic biology are known, information on its trophic ecology, in particular, is scarce. The objective of the presently reported study was to characterize the feeding habits of M. rosacea through the analysis of stomach contents, and to determine possible variations linked to sex (male or female), size (small, medium, or large), or season (spring, summer, autumn, or winter), in order to understand the trophic role that this species plays in the ecosystem where it is found. Materials and methods. Fish were captured monthly, from March 2014 to May 2015 by spearfishing in Santa Rosalía, BCS, Mexico. Percentages by the number, by weight, and frequency of appearance of each food category, the index of relative importance (%IRI), and prey-specific index of relative importance (%PSIRI) were used to determine the importance of each prey item in the leopard grouper diet.

  • Workshop for Red List Assessments of Groupers
    Workshop for Global Red List Assessments of Groupers Family Serranidae; subfamily Epinephelinae FINAL REPORT April 30th, 2007 Prepared by Yvonne Sadovy Chair, Groupers & Wrasses Specialist Group The University of Hong Kong (24 pages) Introduction The groupers (Family Serranidae; Subfamily Epinephelinae) comprise about 160 species globally in the tropics and sub-tropics. Many groupers are commercially important and assessments to date on a subset of species suggest that the group might be particularly vulnerable to fishing. An assessment of all grouper species is needed to examine the sub- family as a whole and set conservation and management priorities as indicated. The Serranidae is also a priority family for the Global Marine Species Assessment. This report summarizes the outcomes of the first complete red listing assessment for groupers conducted by the Groupers and Wrasses IUCN Specialist Group (GWSG) at a workshop in Hong Kong. The Workshop for Global Red List Assessments of Groupers took place 7-11 February, 2007, at the Robert Black College of the University of Hong Kong (HKU). The 5-day workshop was designed to complete red list assessments for all grouper species. Of a total of 161 grouper species globally, only 22 are included on the IUCN Red List with a currently valid assessment; several need to be reassessed and the remaining 100+ have never been assessed. The aim of the workshop, therefore, was to assess 139 groupers to complete all 161 species. The workshop had 23 participants, including many highly respected grouper experts, coming from eleven countries (see cover photo of participants). All members of the GWSG were invited in circulation.

Although there is a wealth of information on spawning aggregations in the Caribbean and the Indopacific, there are almost no data on spawning aggregations of commercial reef fishes in the Tropical Eastern Pacific. Here we describe aggregations and the reproductive behavior of eight species of reef fishes in the Gulf of California, Mexico.

    %-A REVIEW OF THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF SERRANID& FOUND IN THE WATERS OF AMERICA AND EUROPE. BY DAVID STARR JORDAN AND CARL H. EIGENMANN. The family of h’evranida: includes many of our most important food fishes. The group comprises the various species popularly recognized as salt-water p rch at~d1?a8s, the groupers, garrupas, hinds, cabrillas, jaw-fishes, together with the striped bass of digerent species which inhabit or asoend our rivers. Nearly a hundred species are fouud in North American waters, aud of these every one, according to its size, is valuable as food. Some of them, popularly known as “jew-fishes,” are among the very largest of spiny-rayed fishes, aud many of the smaller forms are remarkable for the brilliancy of their coloration. This present paper contains an enumeration of the genera and species belonging to the family of Serranidct! found in tbs waters of America and Europe, together with the syuonymy of each, and analytical keys by which the different groups may be dis- tinguished. An earlier paper by Professors Jordan and Swain (Proc. U. 5. Nat. Mus., 1884, p. 358-411) has served as the basis of our studies of the Epinephelilza:,but this paper has been supplemented by the study of a very much larger amoirnt of material, aud the whole group of Berranidm has been brought under co nsideration. We have examined all the specimens of Serranidct! now contained in the Museum of Uoinparative Zoology at Uambridge, Massachusetts,* and all that are in the iniiseuin of the Indiana University.
