About Reef Fish

Photo: Fish with hookThe Gulf reef fish complex comprises 31 species of snappers, jacks, tilefishes, groupers, hogfish and triggerfish. Found on both artificial and natural structures in the Gulf, these fishes hold high importance in recreational and commercial fisheries. Our goal is to increase awareness of best practices and important information regarding reef fish in the Gulf. Some of this work is funded by the Extending Our Reach regional project. Louisiana Sea Grant is also partnering with Return ‘Em Right.
