Description 2254-2268
Present study consists the meristic, morphometric
characters and colour pattern that are used to identify seven spotted grouper
species: Epinephelus coioides, E.
malabaricus, E. tauvina, E. angularis, E. bleekeri, E. chlorostigma, E.
longispinis that are represented in the catches of Visakhapatnam.  Biometric measurements are subjected to
multivariate analysis (Principal Component Analysis) to distinguish each
species and to infer relationship of the closely related species. In addition
to traditional taxonomic work, allozyme based survey of genetic variation in
these seven species has also been carried out. 
Eleven enzyme systems screened yielded twenty six scorable loci. Average
heterozygosity ranged from 0.048 to 0.154. The results yielded species specific
diagnostic markers in the above species. 
UPGMA dendrogram revealed two main branches where Epinephelus coioides, E. malabaricus and E. tauvina formed one
cluster and E. angularis, E. bleekeri, E.
chlorostigma and E. longispinis formed
another cluster.
