A third night of epic Nassau Grouper spawning was documented last night at the Little Cayman spawning aggregation. For anyone who guessed the timing, spawning began three days after the full moon. Dr. Alli Candelmo can be seen collecting grouper eggs from a single female during a spawning burst. Over the course of the event, millions of eggs are fertilized and released into the open ocean, where they will drift before, hopefully, returning to the reef as baby Nassau Grouper.

A great hammerhead shark swims through a spawning aggregation of Nassau Grouper in The Bahamas. This spawning event attracts many predators due to the increased number of fish. After spawning, the groupers are exhausted and slow-moving, making them easy targets for sharks to hunt. On my last expedition with @perryinstituteformarinescience to the southern Bahamas, we encountered two hammerhead sharks and several bull sharks while documenting an aggregation of over a thousand Nassau Groupers comin

Thousands of Nassau Groupers aggregate for spawning in The Bahamas. While this is a large spawning event, many spawning sites have been overfished, and the species is now listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List. Overfishing, especially when these fish are schooling, drastically reduces their population since many never get the chance to breed. Targeting fish aggregations and spawning sites is one of the most harmful practices for a species in a given area and should be avoided. By r

A group of male Nassau grouper chase an egg-filled female in an attempt to mate. The males shift into bicolor phase to signal that they are ready to spawn. They wait in anticipation for her to release her eggs into the water, giving them the opportunity to simultaneously release their sperm in a cloud. The fertilized eggs are then carried by ocean currents, develop into larvae and then juvenile Nassau grouper. Many spawning sites like this have been overfished, and the Nassau grouper is now list

🐟 Just 3 days until the Full Moon — that means it’s Grouper Moon Project time. The Grouper Moon Project is a multi-decade conservation success story protecting one of the Caribbean’s most extraordinary natural events: the largest known spawning aggregation of the endangered Nassau Grouper, found in the Cayman Islands. Each winter around the full moon, nearly 10,000 of these normally solitary fish converge at a single site to reproduce. For more than two decades, scientists have had a rare, once

This Nassau Grouper is spotted surrounded by its tiny shrimp , but don't let that calm moment fool you. While this magnificent fish is normally solitary and territorial, they undertake incredible journeys during the winter full moons. They travel, sometimes over great distances, to gather in massive "groupers" to spawn! The Cayman Islands' Nassau grouper populations have been heavily impacted by overfishing, but conservation efforts are showing positive results, particularly at the Little Cayman
