Species Information

Scientific Name: Epinephelus nigritus

Size: Common to 100 pounds, they can grow to over 6 feet in length and 400 pounds.

Location & Habitat: Deep rocky ledges and sea mounts, in 90-300 m (300-1000 ft). Young are sometimes caught in inshore waters.

Description: This species is found Gulfwide, but is more common in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Smaller fish may be found shallower than 100 feet deep, but warsaw grouper, especially larger specimens, are most common deeper than 200 feet, commonly out to 700 feet. They are found in a wide variety of habitats, offshore oil and gas platforms, rock piles, coral, hard bottom encrusted with living organisms (live bottom), ledges, and drop offs.

The warsaw grouper’s overall body color is a dark mottled brown. The second spine of the dorsal fin is noticeably longer than the others and the spiny part of the fin appears crest-like, resembling a rooster comb. A dead give-away to identification is that this is the only grouper in the Gulf of Mexico with 10 spines in the dorsal fin.

Warsaw grouper are long-lived, to at least 25-30 years. They are not well researched, in spite of the glamour of their size and their wide distribution. Because of their large size and power, only the heaviest equipment with heavy line can be used. A strike can be interpreted as a hangup on the bottom. They will hug the bottom and often attempt to swim under obstructions.
