Dear Coral-listers
Apologies for cross-postings.
I am evaluating the status of goliath grouper, jewfish (Epinephelus
itajara) in the western Atlantic. This includes Caribbean and south to
Brazil. In spanish speaking countries it is called mero guaza, mero de
profundidad. In Quintana Roo, Mexico, it is called cherna.
I have searched through all the peer-review publications in the subject
(ASFA search). I will welcome any information on their existence
(present or past), current conservation status, and habitats used in any
of the countires within the region. Any reports, gray literature,
unpublished data you wish to share with me, even personal statements,
it's all welcome.
