Ecology.âLittle is known of the ecology of the Eastern Pacific species of Mycteroperca. All are presumably fish eaters as adults. This has been confirmed for 31. rosacea (Hobson. 1966) and 31. olfax (E. S. Hobson. pers. commun.), and a large adult 31. jordani examined by us contained the remains of fishes, including the pharyngeal mill of a parrotfish {Scams sp.). There is some indication that 31. prionura is restricted to somewhat greater depths than other Eastern Pacific species of 3Iycteroperca. Of the hundred-odd juveniles taken in the Gulf of California by Scripps expedition "Pescado," only eight were from depths shallower than 25 feet. The center of abundance appeared to be between 50 and 60 feet. 3/. prionura was the only species taken as a juvenile as deep as 100 feet. Adults of 31. prionura have been seen at 150 feet at Cabo San Lucas (K. Rosenblatt, observations from Cousteau Diving Saucer), and the holotype was taken in 135-150 feet. In contrast, juveniles of the other species have been taken in very shallow water. Young of 31. rosacea, the most abundant grouper in the Gulf of Cali- fornia, are common in less than 20 feet of water, as are the adults. The few juveniles of M. jordani taken by us were all from 15 feet or Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original California.
