Clearly, in the case of the red grouper, the continuity of the sea provides a constant connection between the localities.
Table 2 shows the results of the nestedness analysis for the red grouper data from different localities.
This is likely a result of both the red grouper and mojarra being non-specialist feeders, which allows them to sample most of the pool of locally available parasite species.
Therefore, our results suggest that interspecific interactions are not important as a determinant of species composition for the metazoan parasite communities of red grouper and mojarra.
Its diet is composed primarily of small teleost fishes, including mullet, groupers, grunters, jacks, mojarras, wrasses, surgeonfish, and smelt-whitings.
Notable number of people earn their money from tuna fishing, grouper fishing, and other forms of harvesting such as lobster and sea cucumber.
Not all serranids are called groupers; the family also includes the sea basses.
Other common names include donkey fish, mutton hamlet, rockhind, and sicklefish grouper.
