Striped Fin Rockcod

Epinephelus posteli Fourmanoir & Crosnier 1964

Description

provided by World Register of Marine Species
Testes of a 61 cm SL specimen contained a central lumen and numerous 'brown bodies' along the lateral edges of the gonadal lamellae. Appears to be a rare species, but it is of some importance to South African sport fishermen along the northern coast of Natal.
