About Hind
See: Sea Bass The speckled hind (Epinephelus drummondhayi), also known as the calico grouper, kitty mitchell or strawberry grouper, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grouper from the subfamily Epinephelinae which is part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses. It is found in Bermuda and off the eastern coast of North America. Its natural habitats are open seas, shallow seas, aquatic beds, and coral reefs. The species, like many other types of marine life in the region, is threatened by habitat loss. Description The speckled hind has a body which is robust, compressed and is deepest at the origin of the dorsal fin, its standard length is 2.4 to 2.6 times its depth and is equal to the length of the head. The maxilla is exposed when the mouth is closed. The margin of the gill cover bears three flat spines, while the preopercle is serrated with enlarged spines at its angle. The dorsal fin has 11 spines and 14-16 soft rays while the anal fin contains 3 spines and 9 soft rays. The membrane of the dorsal fin has deep indentations between the spines. The caudal fin is rounded with acutely angled corners. There are 72-76 scales in the lateral line. The background...
