WHAT IS GROUPER FISH?
Grouper fish is a type of marine fish, which usually lives on coral reefs. There are 46 species of grouper in
the world, however, the ones commonly found in Indonesian waters today are humpback / mouse
grouper, mud grouper, crab grouper, tiger grouper, spotted grouper, coral grouper, sand grouper and sunu
grouper.
CHARACTERISTICS GROUPER FISH:
Flat body shape, i.e. the width of the body is smaller than the length and height of the body. Upper and
lower jaws are equipped with sharp and strong teeth. The mouth is wide, sloping upwards with the lower
lip that slightly protrudes above the upper lip. The tail fin is round, the fins are single and elongated dorsal
where the part of the hard fingers is approximately the same as the soft fingers. The position of the pelvic
fins is under the pectoral fins. The body is covered with small fins with stenoid scales.
Grouper Cultivation in Indonesia:
◦ In several tropical countries, groupers (Groupers) have begun to be cultivated commercially. Apart from
having a delicious meat taste and high nutritional content, grouper fish also has a high selling price in
the world market. The high price of this commodity is due to its decreasing availability in nature, while
the world market demand is getting higher.

◦ The cultivation of grouper fish has also been promoted in Indonesia in addition to meeting domestic
needs, as well as an export commodity. Grouper fish from Indonesia are exported alive to Hong Kong,
Taiwan, China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, USA, Australia, Singapore,
Malaysia and France.
why grouper fish need to be developed as a
leading commodity in Indonesia, namely:
◦ Grouper is a fishery commodity that has very attractive export opportunities which have not been fully utilized. The growth
of the grouper business as a whole is expected to have an impact on increasing the State's foreign exchange and the welfare
of the lower classes of society who live with livelihoods in the fisheries sector. Modernizing grouper fishing and cultivation
will reduce the negative impact on the marine environment, especially damage to coral reefs.

◦ Natural and hybrid grouper fish that have been widely cultivated in Indonesia are: mouse / duck grouper, tiger grouper,
beautiful grouper (a cross between tiger and batik grouper), cantang grouper (a cross between tiger and kertang groupers).
Of the four types of grouper, cantang grouper and grouper are the most dominant cultivated. This is because both of them
have a relatively short cultivation period, so they are considered more profitable for grouper cultivators.The latest data
obtained from BPS shows that grouper production in 2013 was 113,368 tonnes, consisting of 13,464 tonnes from cultivation
and 99,904 tonnes of catch. Grouper exports in the same year reached US $ 19.8 million with a volume of 2,552 tons. And
of that amount, 90 percent were sent to Hong Kong. The average body weight of grouper fish exported is between 500-800
grams.

◦ Indonesian waters that have the potential to cultivate grouper fish in floating net cages include; Aceh, North Sumatra,
Lampung, Situbondo-East Java, Bali, Berau.
