According to Deeperblue.com, new research states that the population of this giant grouper has declined since 2013.

The research team analyzed the population data of Atlantic Goliath grouper at six locations in the offshore waters of Jupiter, Florida, over a period from 2013 to 2022. The results of the study indicate that the fish population has declined in nearly all locations. Despite the population decline, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission still permits the capture of up to a maximum of 200 Atlantic Goliath groupers in 2023.
