The sailfin grouper (also known as the bacalao grouper) is generally found by rock walls or in underwater caves around the Galapagos Islands, however the juveniles can be found swimming in shallow lagoons, reefs and ponds. They feed on a wide variety of food and suck prey into their mouths, swallowing it whole. Grouper populations have declined significantly in recent years due to over-fishing.
