The atlantic goliath, is a large saltwater fish of the grouper family found primarily in shallow tropical waters among coral and artificial reefs. They can grow to lengths of up to 15 ft and can weigh as much as 700 lb. The goliath grouper's inquisitive and generally fearless nature makes it an easy prey for spear fishermen. This giant fish tend to spawn in large aggregations, returning to the same locations each year. Therefore making them particularly vulnerable to mass harvesting. Until a harvest ban was placed on the species, its population was in rapid decline. The fish is entirely protected from harvest in the US and is recognized as a critically endangered species. Goliath groupers and minnows was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in South Florida in 2015.
