Description Epinephelus chlorostigma is a fairly widespread and relatively abundant species that inhabits reefs in
both shallow and deep waters. There are signs of localised declines due to fishing effort in some areas,
particularly in the Seychelles, and suspected declines in others (Indonesia). Catches of this species are
generally low in comparison to other groupers in many parts of its range, which may be a function of its
deeper depth preference. Population declines are not suspected on a global level at this time; therefore,
it is listed as Least Concern. It is recommended that catches, particularly in areas where groupers are
lumped, should be monitored carefully and frequently to provide more species-specific quantitative
information.
