From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Estuary Cod (Epinephelus malabaricus) is one of the largest and most common cod found in tropical estuaries and on coastal reefs. It can reach a length of over 2m. The Estuary Cod is olive-green with a number of brown spots randomly scattered. Younger fish have a number of wide, broken vertical bands of darker shade across their bodies, but in maturity they seem to become a uniform darker colour. Young fish have numerous brown spots. The tail fin is rounded. Also referred to as Malabar Grouper, Greasy Cod, Spotted River Cod or Estuary Rock Cod.
