For additional findings (I’m sure you want to know more about specific trophic groups and #groupers 😉🐟) and details, be sure to check out our paper!

Through genetic and physical analysis, scientists have confirmed that two groups of longtooth #groupers found near Vietnam, China, and southern Taiwan are distinct species. phys.org/news/2024-12... #newspeciesalert #MarineLife #newfishspecies

This discovery by marine biologists from Japan and Vietnam underscores the power of genetic and physical studies in revealing the ocean's hidden diversity. 🌊✨

Bigger groupers @elrioymar were Squaretail (Plectropomus areolatus) & Spotted coralgroupers (P. maculatus). Also a few Slender (Anyperodon leucogrammicus) & a Humpback Grouper (Cromileptes altivelis). #MarineMonday #FishyFriday #palawan #teamfish #groupers #coralreefs 19/25

Group(er) sex: Goliath #groupers are insatiably curious, adorable and incurably romantic. http://bit.ly/S4bLOy
