Abstract

Aquaculture of groupers is carried out in tropical and subtropical areas throughout the world, with registered total production of 155 000 t during 2017 (FAO, 2017). Approximately 95% of this production was registered from Asia with major contribution from China (65%), Taiwan Province of China (17%), Indonesia (11%) and Middle East (0.1%). Grouper aquaculture is notable for its high level of diversity, including 47 grouper species and 15 hybrids. Orange spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides valued for its excellent texture and flavour and has good demand in international live reef fish trade, especially in South East Asian countries.
