The end of the line? Rapid depletion of a large-sized grouper through spearfishing in a subtropical marginal reef
The Atlantic goliath grouper, Epinephelus itajara, is a large-sized coastal fish that has been heavily overfished, mainly through spearfishing. In order to assess historical catches of the species, we interviewed spearfishers along three generations (young, middle-aged and old) in the traditional fi...
