Epinephelus coioides, Orange-spotted Grouper
 
Description Not Available
This widely distributed species inhabits nearshore habitats from estuaries (juveniles) to coral reefs
(adults) and one generation length is estimated as 12.5 years. It is exploited in several parts of its range.
It is considered overexploited in Oman and the Persian Gulf, with estimated declines of 51% over the
past three generations in the Persian Gulf population. Based on the dominance of juveniles in landings,
it is also potentially overfished in Hong Kong, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, but
quantitative data are lacking. Global catch is reported primarily only from two main areas: the Persian
Gulf/Gulf of Oman and China/Hong Kong, which has declined by 40% over the past 27 years or two
generation lengths. It is under effective management in Australia and Indonesia, but conservation
measures are not considered effective elsewhere in its range. Overfishing is a threat in certain localities,
but is not known to be a major threat on a global-level at this time; therefore it is listed as Least
Concern. Improved monitoring of catches and management where it is heavily fished is recommended.
The change in status from the previous assessment reflects an improved application of the Red List
categories and criteria, as well as a better understanding of available data.
