Fishes -- North America. Red Grouper; Cherna Americana The speckled hind or john-paw (E. drummond-hayi) is most abundant on the Snapper Banks in the Gulf of Mexico, but it has been. recorded from the Bermudas and Charleston. It attains a weight of 30 pounds, and is an important food-fish in the Pensacola market. It is perhaps the most beautiful in colour of all the groupers. Colour, dark umber-brown, densely covered with small pearly- white spots, those below smaller and nearly round, all in irregular series; fins not dark-edged, all covered with similar spots, those of the paired fins chiefly on the inner surface; lower side of head flushed with red and unspotted; caudal fin more densely spotted than the body, the terminal spots lavender; pectoral with a subterminal orange band.

It is found on our South Atlantic and Gulf coasts from Virginia to Texas and southward to Brazil. It is an easily recogniza- ble species, separated from all others by the elevation of the second dorsal spine. Besides the vernacular names given above, it is known also as cherna, mero, cherna de vivera, negre, and jaboncillo. The red grouper is a very handsome fish, bearing some resem- 385.
