Monster Fish; transporting a Queensland Grouper.

The iconic Queensland Grouper or Giant Grouper is a protected species and the largest reef fish on the Great Barrier Reef. The Cairns Marine team has collected a large specimen under special permit for display in a public aquarium for conservation and educational purposes. They are now moving this huge fish, over 2 meters in length, to a temporary holding tank where it will be acclimated and treated for parasites prior to being shipped to its new home in the public aquarium.
