Popis:	Commonly known as the Atlantic Goliath Grouper, Epinephelus itajara (Lichtenstein 1822) is a marine fish in the family Epinephelidae. Because of slow growth, late maturity, large adult size (up to 2 m long and weighing 400 kg), and shallow coastal habitats, the species is highly vulnerable to anthropogenic activities, such as fishing and activities that cause habitat loss and reduce water quality. This endangered species (IUCN) is at great risk of being lost from Brazilian waters.
