Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Epinephelus lanceolatus are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Epinephelus lanceolatus, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Epinephelus lanceolatus, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Info

(Bloch, 1790)

Epinephelus lanceolatus is the largest bony fish found in coral reefs.
It usually resides in caves or wrecks, but has also been sighted in estuaries.
Juveniles are rarely seen.

It will eat anything that fits in its mouth, such as lobsters and other crustaceans, fish, including small sharks and small rays, but also juvenile turtles.

According to unconfirmed reports, there have also been fatal attacks on humans. Epinephelus lanceolatus is heavily fished in most areas and therefore is no longer encountered very often.

The patterns in the pectoral fins are typical of Epinephelus lanceolatus.
All fins are not black and white, but yellowish with a black pattern.
