Groupers are carnivorous reef fishes; belonging to the subfamily Epinephelinae with 15 genera and 159 species. They are available globally but are predominant in the tropical and sub-tropical waters including the Indo- Pacific region (110 species), the East Atlantic and Mediterranean regions (14 species) and the inter-tropical American zone (35 species) (Pierre et al., 2007). They mainly inhabit coral reefs, rocky areas, sea grass bed and estuaries. Groupers are popular carnivorous fishes with a high market demand in many parts of the world and form the mainstay in the world Live Reef Food Fish (LRFF) trade (Koesshendrajan & Hartono, 2006).
