Grouper / Epinephelus marginatus
Its body is flat and oval from the side. Its head and mouth are large. Its skin is thick and covered with small scales. The 1st dorsal fin is higher and is united with the 2nd dorsal fin. There are greenish and yellow spots and vertical bands on the head, back and sides, which are visible when alive and disappear when dead. The underside is lighter colored. Gill covers are open and spiny. The caudal fin is round.
