Abstract:The Nassau grouper, Epinephelus striatus, is a slow‐growing, late‐maturing, long‐lived reef fish widely distributed throughout the south‐western North Atlantic. Known for forming large spawning aggregations, numbering tens of thousands, they are now listed as Critically Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Recently, the only Nassau grouper spawning aggregation in Puerto Rico was documented at Bajo de Sico, a seamount and seasonally closed marine protected area.
