Studies on the life history of western Atlantic groupers are being done by the Caribbean Marine Research Center and Florida State University (Colin, pers. comm.). Current efforts are directed toward documentation of natural spawning, growth, feeding, recruitment, and migration-particularly for gags, red groupers, and jewfish. A group from the Florida Institute of Technology has been working out of the CMRC laboratory at Lee Stocking Island (Exumas) to document early life history and recruitment of Nassau groupers in that area (Shenker, pers. comm.).
