This newly discovered species can be found... view more... (2008-08-22)
Coral reef fish harbor an unexpectedly high biodiversity of parasites
IRD researchers showed that Epinephilus maculates, a fairly abundant species of grouper off New Caledonia, was parasitized by 12 species of microscopic monogenean worms. view more (2007-09-06)
Twenty of World's 162 Grouper Species Threatened With Extinction
The first comprehensive assessment of the world's 162 species of grouper, a culinary favorite and important commercial fish, found that 20 are threatened with extinction unless proper management or conservation measures are introduced. view more (2007-03-22)
NOAA Scientists Map Fish Habitat and Movements at Gray's Reef Marine Sanctuary
Two related research expeditions by NOAA scientists to track the habitat preferences and movements of fish at Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary may help managers protect overfished species such as red snapper and grouper. view more (2009-09-03)
How marine reserves are giving coral reefs a helping hand
It may be no surprise that marine reserves protect the fish that live in them, but now scientists from the University of Exeter have shown for the first time that they could also help improve the health of coral reefs. view more (2006-01-06)
Historical Photographs Expose Decline in Florida's Reef Fish, New Scripps Study Finds

Troubled waters: Low Apalachicola River flow may hurt gulf fisheries
Reductions in the flow of the Apalachicola River have far-reaching effects that could prove detrimental to grouper and other reef fish populations in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, according to a new Florida State University study that may provide new ammunition for states engaged in a nearly two-decade water war. view more (2009-06-22)

NOAA Researchers Help Build a Global Reference Library of DNA Barcodes
Most of us are familiar with bar codes, those small black stripes with numbers below, known as the Universal Product Code or UPC label, that appear on commercial products. We scan them at the grocery store or to check a price, or have to cut them out and send them in for a rebate. view more (2008-04-21)
