Nice fish but I'm with Harro,I think you are not allowed to spear them,only take them by hook and line,then only one each

Groper, Western

Groper, Western blue.....Protected in the Rottnest Island reserve.

These fish are always a bit of a sore spot. You take them on a rod and they are a great catch, you take them on a speargun and some prople frown.....

I personally wouldn't take a big one while I was diving now. I have taken one a few years ago.

Smaller one are still fair game.

Old Blue

growth rate is about 500g per year.....that one would probably be 60-70 years old...

 

like Wandoo.....very slow growing.
