Information about the Potato Cod or Grouper:

The Potato Cod - also called the Potato Grouper or Potato Bass - is a large ray-finned fish and member of the family Serranidae. This group included about 450 species of fish in 64 genera. Many of these are the sea basses and groupers. These fish are found in the warm tropical waters in the Indo-West area of the Pacific Ocean, from the Red Sea and East Africa to southern Japan and Queensland, Australia. Also from the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea. They are extremely large fish and can grow to be 8.5 feet long (260 cm.) weighing over 240 pounds (110 kg.) While the species is not considered endangered, it has been extirpated from much of it's original range. Despite the large size, the Potato Cod is not dangerous to divers and will often allow them to approach and even touch them.
