Humpback Grouper – Signed Fine Art Print

Information about the Humpback Grouper:

The Humpback Grouper – also called the Panther or Polka-Dot Grouper – is a demersal (meaning the area of the ocean just above the very bottom) fish found in the warm tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region. Juveniles display fewer, larger black spots, which become smaller and more plentiful as the fish matures. This unusual fish is also unique amongst the groupers in having an elongate, slender head that rises sharply at the nape of the neck, giving the species the distinctive ‘humpback’ appearance for which it is named. The long dorsal fin begins at the top of this ‘hump’ and extends almost the entire length of the body. It grows to be about 27 inches long (70 cm) Since 2007 the population has plummeted, mostly due to the fact that the fish has been extensively collected for the aquarium trade.
