  • Snapper Grouper Complex
    4.1.2 Snapper Grouper Complex 4.1.2.1 Species Descriptions Sea basses and Groupers (Serranidae) (all species’ descriptions updated from the Snapper Grouper SAFE Report Nov. 2005) All serranids described in this document are reported to be protogynous hermaphrodites meaning that all individuals change sex from female to male at a certain size and/or age. This size and age at sex transition is species-dependent and can vary considerably within species. Gag Gag, Mycteroperca microlepis, occur in the Western Atlantic from North Carolina to the Yucatan Peninsula, and throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Juveniles are sometimes observed as far north as Massachusetts (Heemstra and Randall 1993). Gag commonly occurs at depths of 39- 152 m (131-498 ft) (Heemstra and Randall 1993) and prefers inshore-reef and shelf-break habitats (Hood and Schlieder 1992). Bullock and Smith (1991) indicated that gag probably do not move seasonally between reefs in the Gulf of Mexico, but show a gradual shift toward deeper water with age. McGovern et al. (2005) reported extensive movement of gag along the Southeast United States. In a tagging study, 23% of the 435 recaptured gag moved distances greater that 185 km. Most of these individuals were tagged off South Carolina and were recaptured off Georgia, Florida, and in the Gulf of Mexico (McGovern et al. 2005). Gag are considered estuarine dependent (Keener et al. 1988; Ross and Moser 1995; Koenig and Coleman 1998; Strelcheck et al. 2003). Juveniles (age 0) occur in shallow grass beds along Florida’s east coast during the late spring and summer (Bullock and Smith 1991).
