Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus). which ranges throughout the tropical western Atlantic, is highly valued commercially and has been severely depleted in many areas. We have studied the reproduction and culture of this species since 1987. Short-term captive wild fish produced eggs in four ways: (1) induced ovulation with human chorionic gonadotropin followed by artificial fertilization: (2) induced ovulation followed by fertilization by males in the holding tank; (3) natural ovulation followed by artificial fertilization; and (4) natural ovulation followed by fertilization in the holding tank. Longterm captive fish also have spawned; (5) unexpected voluntary spawning in a cage in a related project; and (6) planned voluntary spawning in a concrete raceway.
