1 Goliath Grouper preference for artificial reefs: Relief and volume are predictors of abundance Angela B. Collins, Ph.D. Florida Sea Grant, UF IFAS Extension Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
2 Study species: Goliath grouper E. itajara
3 Geographic range South Atlantic, GoMex Historical center of abundance: SW Florida
4 Life history characteristics Large, long-lived (2.5 m; 37+ y) Late maturity (4-6 y; >1 m TL) Protogynous* Sedentary Predictable aggregations at high relief habitat Accessible to people
5 Current Status of the Stock Increasing juvenile abundance in nursery habitats (Koenig et al. 2007; Cass-Calay and Schmidt 2009) Adult numbers are increasing offshore (Porch et al. 2004, 2006; Koenig et al., 2011; Anecdotal diver and angler reports) Stock assessments continue to fail due to a lack of information (SEDAR6, 2004; SEDAR23, 2011, FWC 2016) Estimates regarding population recovery are dependent upon directed research efforts
6 Study area: Nov 2007 present Visual surveys: 441 Depth range: 7 48 m
7 Methods Visual Survey Year-round video surveys Presence, abundance Size distribution Seasonal patterns Habitat characterization Artificial vs. Natural Relief Volume (artificial habitats only)
8 Measuring fish 20 cm 120 cm TL
9
10 Conventional and Acoustic Tagging External ID tags allow reports of resightings (divers) &/or recaptures (anglers) Acoustic tags provide detailed info Site fidelity, movement, survival after C&R
