💡 Everyday Comparisons for Size, Mass & Speed

  • 💡 In 2015, Korea's Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced the export to Taiwan of grouper seed stock based on the Longtooth grouper, which is called Dageumbari (Korean name) in Korea.
  • 💡 Its maximum weight of 33 kg is about one and a half 20 kg bags of rice (Comparison).
  • 💡 Its maximum length of 136 cm is about 8 tenths of an adult human height (about 1.7 m) (Comparison).

📖 1. Overview

The Longtooth grouper is a grouper living in seas around Korea, Japan, southern China, and Taiwan, and is also called Dageumbari (Korean name) in Korea.

🦴 2. Anatomy & Morphology

It is known to reach a maximum total length of 136 cm and a maximum weight of 33 kg.

🔍 3. Ecology & Behavior

It lives on rocky reefs and is also seen on muddy bottoms, while juveniles live in shallow waters.

🇰🇷 4. Connection to Korea

It is listed on the National List of Species of Korea (National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR)), and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has noted that domestic groupers such as the Longtooth grouper, Bulkbari (a Korean animal name), and Neungseongeo (a Korean animal name) are tropical species that struggle to survive Korean winters, making aquaculture difficult.
