Abstract
Epinephelus socialis is widely distributed and inhabits shallow coral reefs around islands (many of which are remotely located). Little is known on its population, but is thought to be naturally uncommon. It is taken by subsistence fishers in parts of its range, but this is not known to be a major threat on a global level. It is therefore listed as Least Concern, with a recommendation to prioritize research on potential impacts to its population from habitat degradation and/or fishing. 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.
