SUMMARY
SUMMARY
IDENTIFICATION
SCIENTIFIC NAME(s)
Epinephelus flavolimbatus
SPECIES NAME(s)
Yellowedge grouper
Cass-Callay and Bahnick 2002 assumed that the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) (United States waters), southern GOM (Mexican waters) and the Atlantic Ocean were all yellowedge grouper separate stocks. However, another study (Cook 2007) suggested that two or possibly three separate stocks of yellowedge grouper may exist in the GOM due to regional differences in population density, size and age structure and sexual maturity. Until there is no clarification on this topic, the profile refers to the Northern Gulf of Mexico assessment unit.
