The convenience factor is close to infrastructure such as transportation, the fish auction (source feed), and the supplier of the necessary infrastructure (electricity, telephone), and hydrographic factors such addition must be clear, free from pollution and free of reverse flow, and the waters shall have specific physical and chemical properties (salinity, dissolved oxygen).

Grouper is demersal fish species that likes to live in the waters of the reef, in between the cracks in the rock or in a cave in the bottom waters. Carnivorous fish are classified as less active is relatively easily cultivated, because it has a high adaptability.


To meet the demand for ever-increasing grouper, can not be met from the arrest so that farming is one of the business opportunities that are still very open.
