The Nassau grouper is one of the larger fish to be found around coral reefs. It can be found from the shoreline to nearly one hundred (100) meters deep water. The Nassau grouper lives most notably along the coast of Belize. Normally solitary and territorial, Nassau groupers travel sometimes over great distances, and group together to spawn mostly around the full moons of December through February in groups that can contain upwards of several hundreds to thousands of individuals. A large number of these spawning aggregation sites have been recorded in different places throughout the Belizean coast. Historically, once discovered, grouper aggregation sites become synonymous with fishing aggregation sites.
